Open your rad cap and crack an egg into it while its cold. Then imediatly run/drive your car for a min of 10-15min. ---

should hold up for a while. I dont think it does anything bad, ive seen tests and no bad outcomes were reported. Although it is plugging up a hole so i assume it may gum up the insides of the engine a bit. ---

^^^ Rad Stop Leak You can use those and they work well. I just figured it was late at night and he needed a “qick fix” and CTC isnt open late. It will line the coolant system with a small film. No harm done by it. Just if/when you replace the rad do a quick coolant system flush. ---
