Chemiweld uses sodium silicate to seal. It is a local product and is still available. It works wonders. I don't have a bottle of it at the moment but it is added to the cooling system with the motor warm and running after a good flush.
I have absolutely no reason to doubt that after using it, they were able to drive around the country and I bet the engine still running well for a long time after. It has been about here for decades and stories of miraculous "workshop in a can" feats are numerous.Here is a link to the manufacturers descrption:

I'm sure other sodium silicate products will work just as well. One of them might help out our original poster.
