I have used water glass 4-5 times that I recolect, if you look on a can of k&w blockseal you will find the 2 main ingredients are sodium silicate, and fullers earth [cat litter], haven't looked at justice brothers, but amagine its the same.
I used it on a Bronco II 2.9 with alumn heads,
a 390 ford that was so bad water was comming out the tailpipe, put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator to get it good and hot used 2 quarts on it, I kept adding water, every once in awhile it would pick up a cyl, when it left the shop it was hitting on all 8, and I saw at car run around town for 2-3 years.
Saved the best for last.. A friend loaned his super a to a nieghbor to pull tobcco wagons, had it for 2 years, Billy and I went to get it, it was out from under the shelter with nothing over the exhust, stuck like dicks hatband. Pulled it down, the block is cracked between the cyls, I told him it need a block, he said we are going to fix this one no matter what it costs. To end a long story, it fixed it, that was 7 years ago, I bought the tractor, bought another block,[its still in the storage shed,] this is a working tractor, full of antifreeze, you tell me..does it work? Will you have any problems with it? Who knows.If the vehicle has a thermostat, you need to knock the center out of it and reinstall it for awhile to let it cure.
Enough rambling for an old man for now, my forefingers are tired...
