thanks, product details noted in case it happens to me. My condolences to those affected.

Make sure it doesnt by maintaining your coolant system- how old is your rad, stat, hoses etc?

Putting something into an engine which aims to block holes & cracks is asking for trouble. the rad, stat, water pump etc will be prime blockage targets, no doubt it'd create hot spots and sink to the bottom of the heater core/rad and turn into cement as well. When you do then have to replace the block you've got a massive job on your hands. The stuff is really made for arfur daleys pushing dodgy cars through auctions, i learnt this myself the hard way!

It works by lining the bores not by filling holes in rads?Its a lot cheaper than going down the road of putting a new engine in if you cant afford it.Which if by looking at the cost of a stripped V8 now is around the two grand mark then take in to account fitting your pushing £3-4000.Like i have said its been applied to about eight to ten cars over a two year period all at the customers request with no problems what so ever.
