Hi, My daily driver is a 96 Olds 88 which I bought with ''bad head gaskets'' but turned out to be a deteriorated plastic upper intake where coolant went thru it to cool the egr vapors. After talking to my mechanic buddies I found out the orange will attack plastic and gaskets alike and the only thing they put back in cars they do is the green stuff.
