From FAQs section
Titled: Help... my car is overheating ..........
I wrote: Why, you ask, won't radiator sealer work on the 7M BHG problem.?? Because the "usual" BHG starts out as a tiny hole from a combustion chamber (usually #6 cyl) to a water passage. The enormous pressure during combustion pushes the gasses 'into' the cooling system. This then builds up too much pressure and causes coolant to eventually over flow into the recovery bottle. The sealant only works when the coolant is trying to leak 'out of' the cooling system to atmosphere. It plugs the hole.
