Well, I've read the last responses here and 2 of my friends suggested liquid glass to fix a blown head gasket (actually, the mechanic didn't know if it was the gasket or the head was cracked itself). I went to the drug store asking for liquid glass, hoping they wouldn't look at me like I was crazy, and they handed me a jar of the stuff. It was about the size of a mayo jar full of clear liquid. It does say on the side that it isn't compatable with antifreeze and they don't support using it in your radiator. This leads me to believe it's kind of one of those things where it works, but they won't guarantee it to save their butts from legalities later on. So, I'm going to give it a shot. I have an 87 Nissan PU 4 cyl. The only problem is, I don't know the "recipe" for how much to mix, and the heating and the cooling and draining, etc. I'll post later what I did and if it works. Heck, it's better to spend about $15 than $900 to change the darn head gasket. And if it doesn't work, what the heck, I'm in no better or worse spot than I'm in now.
