Bill,
I wouldnt add it to a cooling system in good condition or as a maintaince item. Only as a patch to the many who have a hard time keeping up with the cash flow of everyday life or emergency.
The older English cars use sorry castings and metal. Its a choir to get the head off any old Jag, land Rover, and Saab motors that were made in England, just from the rust build up. I could see how Bars would complicate it more. When I use to do head work on the old Saab Motors, most times I had to weld the nuts to the head studs to remove them. Had the special tool that broke after use on 5 studs. Yep it was made in England too.
When I was a kid ...black pepper served the same purpose. It was a trick taught to me by my first official automotive mechanics instructer at Key West High School in 1971. I laughed about it till several years later when I watched it stop a serious radiator leak dead in its tracks while I was a million miles from home with $32.00 in my pocket.
