Easily and Permanently Repair Blown Head Gaskets with Bar's Leaks(R) Head Gasket Fix

HOLLY, Mich., Oct. 20, 2009 -- Bar's Leaks® introduces a unique product that lets consumers save up to $2,500 by easily fixing blown head gaskets themselves.

A head gasket is the seal between a vehicle's engine block and cylinder head. A "blown" head gasket is one that has developed leaks. This is a serious problem that can kill an engine and cost upwards of $2,500 to professionally repair. Recognizing that most blown head gaskets occur on older vehicles that may not be worth that much to fix or whose owners may not be able to afford such a repair, Bar's Leaks developed Head Gasket Fix. Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Fix is the first chemical solution to permanently repair head gasket leaks in one step: simply by pouring it into the radiator.

"Unlike other head gasket repair products, Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Fix is added directly to the radiator, without flushing existing antifreeze," says Clay Parks, vice president of development. "Practically anyone can use it. Just pour it in, idle the engine, and you're ready for normal driving in as little as 15 minutes. The suggested retail price is just $29.95."

Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Fix is effective in all water-cooled gasoline and diesel engines in cars, trucks, SUVs and other vehicles. It combines antifreeze-compatible sodium silicate sealing liquid with various sized gasket-sealing particles. The fluid penetrates any gaps and cracks in the gasket, and then hardens to permanently seal the leaks. The formula forms a seal only at the site of a leak due to its exposure there to the extreme heat inside the combustion chamber. Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Fix also repairs leaking cylinder heads, intake gaskets, cracked blocks and freeze plugs. Use with all types of antifreeze, including conventional green or blue (silicate-based) and extended life red/orange or yellow (OAT/HOAT) coolant. It can also be used in cooling systems containing only water. Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Fix works on aluminum and cast iron heads and engine blocks.

Head Gasket Fix is sold at major auto parts stores and leading retailers nationwide. Visit the store locator at http://www.barsproducts.com/bars_locator.htm to find a local outlet. Like all Bar's Leaks products, Head Gasket Fix is made in the USA.
