Head gasket sealers

Anyone have any luck with any of the products out their to seal head gasket leaks?

I have confirmed a leaking Head gasket on my 2.2 (1995 S10 PU 2wd 227,000 miles)

It has not overheated, starts rough as it burns the coolant, but runs ok after (other than temp going up und down, but never over 210)

Seems like it might be a small leak, wondering if steelseel or bars leak might fix it. The shop told me the head will probalby be cracked, so even if I do it myself, it is more than I want to spend on this old truck.

It depends,,,,stop leak products do work,,,but with this a head gasket a low chance of this being sucessful...especially after a long period of time..operating with the leak...if the coolant system is clean why not try its an 1994 nothing to loose..

remove the pressure cap until it seals the leak...somewhat
