Don't know about that but "K-seal" for example can do a good job, albeit it may not in a FI engine.

But yes quite why they have applied to the name to the car is probably an attempt to claim "Cosworth tax", also I don't quite see where the engine size comes into it.

Bet it doesn't no matter what the claims.

As I say above it does work (Don't know about that particular product) but as you and I have said, but using it on a Cosworth or any FI car may be a different story.

hmmmm this may work on a car thats starting to loose water but I really doubt it would be any good on a car that has a proper blowen head gasket!!

In my experience with nackered head gaskets, if it's fucked fix it properly with a new head gasket. Not pour chemical into your engine and expect a miracle cure!

I find snake oil works just as good..

An engine rebuild in a bottle sounds legit to me.

Yes it works, my mates mums sisters uncle runs it in his race car, I think his names Dick Johnson, but not sure. Someone said it had 680 bhp @ 2 bar.

I heard it repairs piston rings and crowns. And reprofiles the crank and repairs big end shells.

I also heard a voodoo shaman preist blessed every bottle from factory.

£29.99 bit on the expensive side as I can buy silicon gasket sealer for less than that and it would hold better.

If you want to pour things in your header tank for that miracle engine cure, try pissing In it as the iron that's in your body comes out your hose into your engine and welds all the little molecules of iron together to patch your cracked 200 block
