Lol....putting essentially GLUE into your engine just sounds like a bad idea.
Go ahead.. laff.

Is it the 'proper' thing to do? No.. Does it work in a pinch? Sure does.. will it work in his car, dont know. If it does, he can save up the cash over the couple months to get it fixed proper.

Barsleak is for the radiator nothing more. Think about the amount of pressure thats on the head gasket from the combustion camber.
Ok.. Barsleak 'Radiator Stop Leak' is for.. radiators. 'Block Seal' is for blocks and heads... Ones lead, the others a composite matrix that actually gets harder at combustion temps. I've used it, it does work, the engine is still going strong.

That is prolly for a feature you dont have. My replacement has the same thing.
