Folks: My 300TE has a leaking head gasket. You can smell coolant out the pipe, see a bit of steam on startup, and the #1 plug got so fouled with other-than-oil calcified coolant crud that it stopped firing the other day.
While I was buying a new plug, I noticed a sale on Bars Leaks brand head and head gasket sealer, which purports to seal bad head gaskets and cracked heads. Since this car basically just hauls stuff around town and probably only gets driven 5k a year at most, and I'm not in a position to r&r the gasket at this point, does anyone have any experience with this product? I dimly remember someone--was it OK Don?--saying they'd used it or something similar on a 300SEL for many tens of thousands of miles and it worked, but I'd love confirmation of this before pouring it in. Other than that, car runs great. Uses some oil, but no blue smoke. Thanks!
