A blown head gasket can mean the end of the road for many older vehicles. With a repair ticket of $2,500 or more, fixing a head gasket often costs more than the car is worth or than its owner can afford. But now Bar's Leaks has a solution that's not only affordable, but is easy to use, as well. Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Fixis the first chemical solution to permanently repair head gasket and other major cooling system leaks simply by adding it directly to the radiator: no flushing required.

  • Block leaks

  • Cracked cylinder heads

  • Blown head gaskets

  • Expensive, complicated repairs


The solution: Bar's Leaks® Head Gasket Fix

  • Stops block leaks

  • Seals cracked cylinder heads

  • Repairs blown head gaskets

  • One-Step solution with an MSRP of $29.95


"Unlike other products, Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Fix is added directly to the radiator, without flushing out existing antifreeze," says Clay Parks, vice president of development. "Virtually anyone can use it correctly for fast, permanent results. The vehicle can be ready for normal driving in as little as 15 minutes!"

Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Fix's exclusive formula combines high-grade and specialty sealing liquids with various sizes of gasket-sealing particles to penetrate gaps and cracks, and then harden to permanently stop leaks. In addition to repairing blown head gaskets, it also fixes leaking cylinder heads, intake gaskets, cracked blocks and freeze plugs. Head Gasket Fix forms a seal only at the site of a leak due to its exposure to the extreme heat inside the combustion chamber. It is compatible with all types of antifreeze, including conventional green or blue (silicate-based) and extended life (red/orange) or yellow (OAT/HOAT). The product also can 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 available to distribution in case packs of four 24 oz. bottles. Each bottle treats systems up to four gallons (this covers most vehicles with four, six or eight cylinders).

Like all Bar's Leaks products, Head Gasket Fix is made in the U.S.A. The label includes directions in both English and Spanish.
