Alright so I have a 95 zenki S14 w/ a 150,000 KA.

Friends recently told me they've spotted some puffs of white smoke coming out of my tail pipe every so often. Puffs of white smoke almost definately means a bad head gasket. I've been taking it easy on my car, keeping it under 4,000. I already ordered a head, intake/exhaust manifold gaskets. This job is probably going to take two whole days to do in my garage.

Anyhow, I was recently browsing the net for head gasket fixes and shit when I came across this website. They're selling this product called Steel Seal. You basically pour this chemical stuff into your radiator and it'll circulate through your motor and well, seal up the parts of the head gasket that's messed up.

My questions.

Has anyone tried this stuff on their motor? Does it work?

Should I use it? I mean, I shouldn't be so lazy and just put in the two days to do a proper head gasket job. I just don't have time to take apart my motor. Plus my technical expertise is limited really, I would pretty much be doing this job by reading the FSM and reading forum posts.

Doing compression test will confirm a bad head gasket? What's the normal compression range for a 95 KA24DE?
