    I though people just let their head gaskets fail and get the steam cleaning result for "free".

      I've had it done and no problems after, just got to make sure you rinse out all the media afterwards.

        This is exactly what I'm wondering about Andy,do you know what media was used to clean your head?Im slightly worried that mine have been done with crushed glass.

          Pretty certain mine was done with glass, but it's not crushed glass, it's generally tiny glass beads.

            Yes,it's almost like powder,but I spend about one hour today with air blown gun and there was still tiny bits coming out from oil channels and I'm really worry that more might be trapped in there.
