Don't do it!!  It's been many years since I last made this mistake, but I
doubt the products have changed much.
I used some on the beater I had in college ('74 Plymouth Duster :-( and the temp. gauge forever after was a good 10%
higher.  Well, when it ran at least.
And the radiator still leaked.

Find a core from a junker (if you're cheap) or get a new one (if you're lazy).
