Default Anyone us Steel Seal Head Gasket repair

Has anyone used the Steel Seal liquid for head gasket repair? I am trying to decide if I should spend the money replacing the head gasket or try this stuff. Lots of conflicting info about it. Is it legit or BS? i have some white smoke coming out of the tail pipes along with milky oil in the dip stick.

Do it right, change the head gaskets, unless you're trying to dump it on some sucker. Usually the head gaskets on an L98 are pretty well shot by the time they go. Even if it does hold, the first time it gets hot it will blow out. If its already in the oil, you have problems.

My dad put sealer in one of his cars. It plugged up the coolant passages between the head and the block. Not good.
