None.

1. It's a "very" temporary fix.
2. It may clog perfectly good equipment; radiator, heater core, engine internals.
3. You may cause your engine to overheat if it fails and damage engine components that could have been reused in a rebuild.

But, if you don't care, use the whole bottle.

Everyone has different experiences with this fix. It may work it may not, but from all the post I have read the block weld has worked more than it hasn't. If your getting a reman. most of those parts I would replace anyway like the water pump, radiator with a good one, heater core, ect. If your going to rebuild it, then I wouldn't chance it.

There is a write up at on a website some where on it thats pretty good and explains how to do everything. Short hand you need to run a degreaser through the engine like simple green for three flushes. Then flush it through with clean water untill it is all out. At this point I don't remember how much to put in, but after you put it in (this is where my memory gets hazy) you run the engine for a while to circulate it around and then you let it sit for a day or two. From there it debates whether or not you should flush the system again or not. If I remember right they didn't, but if you worry about clogging things I don't think it would hurt anything as long as you let it sit first. I'll try to find the website for you to better explain it.
