Noel,
I think you meant to address to Brett. Agree with everything you say.
My head gasket is fixed, my car was not driven except to get fixed after it overpressurized the cap.
Since my car had similar symptoms I described to Brett & how big the hole was in my gasket and said I didn't think stop leak would work and is not a permanent fix. Stop leak may work on a normal pressurized system but when you have engine compression overpressurizing I don't think it would even work. Even if it did I don't expect it would last long. I would not use it myself.
BTW, you give great advise. I haven't been on/posted in awhile just started reading again recently. Another project - bought camper van so didn't have to commute to new job location 50 miles from my house everyday and have been improving it, pretty much have it how I want it now.
