I had good experiences with Barr's Leak (Can$3.00). My head gaskets started
leaking a coulpe of years ago at about 130000kms. Now I have 267000kms on
the same engine with the same head gaskets. I have repeated the procedure
twice after I changed coolant. I did not notice any negative cooling effects
and have not found extensive coating on coolant parts that I replaced.

To me it seems quite a cost effective patch.
