A solution called "THURMO" containing aluminium particals. will not clog water ways and cooling pipes but will repair cracked heads and leaking head gaskets.

they are the specialist I use, mega helpful , if you're in need I'd give them a try.

This is just a recommendation and not an advert.

Rubbish.

There's no way of repairing a cracked head without having it welded and I wouldn't even trust a welded head.

ditto as it would probably crack again next to the weld!
