Dave,
The reason I am sold on Alumni-seal is because George Riehl, the president of the Chrysler 300 Club Intl, told me to use it on the cracked block and explained the reason for his advice. And for me at least, he proved himself right again. He one of the founders of the 300 Club and has been building mopar engines for the club's members since it's inception. (30 years?) I have always trusted his judgment.

The metallized versions of the leak stopping products do not make those gaurantees. Bar's Leaks is basically just little organic fibers. The pellets may sink to the bottom at first, yes, but as soon as they dissolve, all of the microfibers will stay suspended in your coolant.
