Coolant Jello, yum yum! ;) Actually, knock on wood, we don't currently have head gasket issues. I *thought* I did, but it was the ~10cm long, 7.5mm dia. hose that goes to the crossover tube. It was leaking directly on the head, so it looked like a gasket leak. Had my fooled for a sec. Turned out to be a quick, easy, and cheap (well, free, since I had some spare hose) fix. I checked all the other hoses in there whilst I had it open. Of course, I replaced all *fuel* lines last year. The Bar's leak stuff is cheaper, so if I ever need have a leak, I'll start there. Interesting thing about the BlueDevils stuff: the say it will not work on NorthStar engines. I wonder why...... Jon
