K-seal is the new thing I'm doing with every coolant change.
Hope it works.

Prevention is better then cure and all that.

Yep prevents your head gasket from going as well as your coolant system from working!

Not when it's as cheap to just change the gasket it's not. Especially when it's just likely to f*ck something else up and kill the gasket itself in the long run. And it will get into the heater matrix, and that is a bitch of a job.
