Comments about Bars Leak Head Gasket Repair (20 oz.):
When i bought my expedition i noticed after about a month it started running hot, after determining that it was a blown head gasket i purchased a bottle of bars and added it to my coolant, very simple, It has been a year and many miles up and down the highway and it still have not run hot, I highly recommend Bars *****
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Q:
i am really worried about getting the antifreeze out before use of this product and then getting the product out before refilling with new antifreeze, it has warnings all over the bottle about clogging, how sensitive is this? what happens if not "EVERY" drop is flushed out?Asked on 11/22/2012 by Kozmo from Aiken, SC1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
With reference to your inquiry on Bars Leak Head Gasket Repair (20 oz.) - Part No. 1100, you must first drain and flush the entire cooling system, including the overflow tank and refill with water. All antifreeze must be removed from cooling system or clogging could occur. After using this product, flush entire cooling system with water before adding antifreeze. For best results, leave the cooling system open for 12 hours after draining the product from the cooling system. Dosage recommendation is as follows: 1 to 2.0 gallon cooling capacity uses ½ bottle, 2.0 gallon to 6 gallon cooling capacity uses 1 bottle, larger systems use 1 bottle for every 6 gallons of coolant capacity.
