1st, verify you have a cracked head....
2nd....Pour in sealers are ok for a very short temp fix....but that's it........
3. The head is very likely repairable by a machine shop or someone who has real heliarc experience.........then a machin shop will need to do a partial valve job.....resurfacing the head, etc.
and she will be good as new!

If your using a quart of coolant in a month or so, then the sealers are a good bet....... If your using a quart in a couple days, or you can see it running a solid stream on the floor, then NO its too late.
