RayO and others have panned Bar's Leak and other similar products. I tend to agree with their comments but I am in a bit of a bind on a non-Toyota (old Ford pickup). I just dropped a rebuilt engine in. For the rebuild I used a block that had been cracked. The machinist fixed the crack (between freeze plugs) but it appears to be leaking. The leak is minimal right now, just a tiny bit of residue. I really don't want to pull this engine again so I am looking for a fix. I should add that the rebuild itself if a quality build and that I push this engine a bit (maybe up to 5 or 5.5K RPM on occasion. So what do everyone suggest for something to prevent the leak from gettng worse? Oh, I'm in Arizona and we only get a few days of freezing temperatures. Heat is the culprit around here. Thanks. jor
