Has anyone ever used it? Wife's old Windstar has a leaky head gasket. Not sure the old van is worth the cost of repair, but really can't afford another car or payment right now.

Nope. Not familiar with it but I'm sure that someone will have an opinion for you. Have you tried re-torquing the heads? Occasionally it can buy you some time.

I actually thought that this was going to be a thread about metal wildlife sculptures.

I'd be worried about it plugging up something important instead.

There are 2 extremely common failures on the 3.8 that is in the windstar. The 1st is head gaskets, usually the rear one goes first then the front goes. 2nd would be the timing chain, water pump case housing. When that fails ,(usually from an overheat) it dumps antifreeze into the oil wiping out the engine. I have never seen any quick fix work for more than an extremely short period of time. I hate to tell you this, but if you plan on keeping it then plan on actually fixing it.

I did both head gaskets,had the heads checked at a machine shop, timing case cover, new water pump, and complete tune up on one of the guy's I work with 96 Windstar. He spent about $1.500.00 for everything 5 years ago.

I doubt it would work for more than a few minutes if that and do more damge than good.
