Question - IF THE CRACK IS NOT SEVERE AT ALL IS THERE ANY QUIKE FIX YOU CAN RECOMEND OTHER THAN HAVING NEW HEAD GASKET INSTALLED. IVE HEARD OF A PRODUCT CALLED LIQUID GLASS IS THIS AN ALTERNATIVE. I DO UNDERSTAND I RUN A RISK OF SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE BY NOT REPLACING ENTIRE GASKET BUT WITH NO MONEY IN BANK I DONT HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS. ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE VERY APPRECIATED. THNKS FOR YOU TIME.  

Answer: Mario,
There are no quick fixes for a head gasket. In fact, I've never heard of anyone attempting to fix a head gasket rather than buying a new head gasket. The head gasket is under so much stress, heat, and pressure, I don't think there is a product on the market that can fix it. The most expensive part is the labor involved in replacing the head gasket. Also, even IF you could repair a head gasket, the mechanic would still have to charge you the full labor charge, plus additional labor cost in attempt to repair the gasket. Most mechanics will not even attempt to repair a head gasket.

There's also a chance that your head gasket is fine, but your head or block is cracked. None of that can be fully verified until the head is removed. I would suggest saving up your money and have the head gasket replaced. Also, call around to other mechanics in your area and ask for a price quote. Odds are you will find a mechanic that can perform this job for less than $800.
Good luck!
