I used a similar product on my first car (many years ago), a 76 Honda Civic.
I was getting white smoke from the tail pipe, and the car was already over
10 years old and has rusted through floors. I put in a bottle of radiator
stop leak and it stop the coolant from getting into the combustion chamber.
That lasted for about 2 years till the timming belt broke. My little Civic
was a great little car, I still miss it :(.
