Hey Matt, Just wondering what the process for the installation of the bars leak stuff was? I just bought their head gasket leak repair and it says to pour it into the radiator and not the coolant tank? What did you do? Does anyone know this should be done with our Vans? It also suggested a flush using a T coolant attachment, did you you do this? Where did you connect the hose with the T system?
