Headgasket failure seal....

Just been made aware of this by a friend who said they used it on their alfa romeo....

It claims to help save on expensive repair costs associated with headgasket failures...
Now forgive me for judging this one harshly but this is what i call a "short term fix, long term cost".... It doesnt solve the issue of headgasket failure and it can only be matched to people using cardboard and filler to hide rusty bodywork to save on welding costs..

Sadly my friends now having heater issues which may be down to blocked heater matrix, convieniently linked to this headgasket seal being used..

Might be ok as a short term fix to get you out the cart but id not rely on it to permanently fix an engine with head gasket issues, repair and replacement is the only proper permanent method there.
