purple power degrease i believe is similar to castrol's super cleaner & degreaser. both are in a purple bottle (so is the chemical). VERY strong stuff btw

I, along with many others here, have done this and it does work, though it ultimately is a semi-temporary fix at best. And you risk having your heater core COMPLETELY plug up. But it DOES work, I went over a year on it.

I highly reccomend fixing it the right way. It's better in the long run. You'll thank me in a few years.

It was INTENDED for boingers. I have heard people give some incredible testimonials to the stuff, it supposedly can fix cracked heads and blocks, turn a Honda into a 10 second car, and cause you to have the ability to cover your woman in ****!
