By the >>>>>>>>yea, Tim Smith pointed these things out; he called these things snakeoil way, I do not pull heads to repair small external leaks. I use a leak down tester to confirm there are no internal leaks. If okay I use aradiator sealer. I warm the engine slightly, drain some coolant, then add sealer. I then run the engine to circulate the sealer through the block and heads and shut the engine down before the thermostat opens. I then let the vehicle sit for a few hours. Then drive normally. I have a near 100% success with this method. Remember I am talking small leaks, no gushers.
