If you got time to waste being on BITOG, then you got time to watch the video. He doesn't compare them, but shows long term effects and explains how they work, ruining the long lived myths of these products gumming up radiators and heater cores.Can you just summarize and rank them? I don’t have 30 minutes to watch this, thanks.
hahahaahaWithout watching the vid, I will. I’d go with the blue devil simply because it matches the color of my coolant.
I'll go back in time and tell myself the bars stop leak in my water jacket was a myth. I was wrong for experiencing that. I'll do better next time.If you got time to waste being on BITOG, then you got time to watch the video.

He used the Bars. It worked for 10,000 miles over 2 years. It did not clog the radiator or heater core. Then at the end he found out the cause of the coolant loss was a warped head, not a blown head gasket. But how the head got warped in the first place wasn’t answered. Also the Jaguar that this was tested on had approx 187k miles at the start of the test.Can you just summarize and rank them? I don’t have 30 minutes to watch this, thanks.
People usually only notice a bad water pump or a coolant leak after the first overheating event.In this case the HG wasn't even blown, the block was warped. I think they're worth a shot if your engine is on its last legs and you know full well it's a bandaid until you can get a new engine/car.
One question I have about this video is how did the block warp like that to begin with? Yes, the coolant lost was causing the engine to overheat, but the lost coolant was due to the warped block not sealing the HG to begin with. At some point it had to have been severely overheated to get that way.
This stuff is just a band aid fix. Sooner or later, the H.G. will blow. It never worked for me.
True but 99% of the time damage can be prevented if you just shut the dang thing off and park it until you get it fixed when you start noticing the temperature gauge rising above normal.People usually only notice a bad water pump or a coolant leak after the first overheating event.
