if its found early you might get away with just replacing the gasket, it could warp the head and will need a skim if an engine is run with a shot gasket you could seize the engine and the only remedy is a replacement, if its a banger and not economical to repair (labour costs ect..) sell as spare or repair and it will give you a few ££ towards your next car

Can you use therma gasket repair even if the car wont start?
by not starting do you mean not turng when starter engaged?obvious;y you have head gasket problems. if engine will not physically turn over like it is siezed. with bad head gaskets they have a tendency to leak coolant into one or more cylinders, when this happens it is called hydro lock, a engine cannot compress a liquid so the engine gets jammed by water in cylinder. if you want to save this engine replace what ever part gasket or head .hyro lock can bend connecting rods and crack pistons.thermo gasket i have heard of prolonging the expense of a real repair but thermo gasket cant be mixed with any type of coolant,only water so unless it is never cold where you live and you dont mind a gamble,if you like the car and the value is worth the repair fix it right. the car must be running for thermo gasket to work. they have a website for FAQ.
