Not even a first resort!!!
The wonderful world of ebay is full of stuff like this, how about this thing-http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-FUEL-SAVER-SA ... dZViewItem
Which apparently has 'neodynium super conductors' with a force of '18000 gauss' - I think they mean its a magnet!!!

These "fuel saver" devices are a load of tosh, but the cylinder head gasket repair goop above, from RX auto is aparently fairly good. The theory is actually fairly sound for that, as it's a compound that goes rock hard under the heat of combustion.
You always have to ask the "fuel saver" selling people why car manufacturers don't fit these things as standard. I've had some very odd and interesting made-up answers over the years.

This is not a signature.

Many years ago I used a holts product called wondar weld for fixing HGs and cracked blocks! I seem to recall a customer turned up with it and asked us to "do what it says on the tin" I also remember doing the HG on that car not long after.
