Happy to report that the crack head had done 5k miles so far without issues. It is amazing on how well it works. Car was over-heating big time and cannot be driven for more than 1 mile. Now it can be driven for long distances, > 300 miles at times. I think 'water glass' would seal any crack #14 head if applied correctly. Will report back at 10K.
