Why hasnt anyone mentioned that we have ALUMINUM engines? Under any major heat parts will warp and never be the same, even with some machining.

All this crap about coolant type, mileage, etc, is just babble. My engine has 172k miles on it and it has never had a BHG. Why? Design flaw? Maybe if you let your car overheat. All this while I have only had Honda coolant for the first coolant cycle in my car. Thats about 165k miles on generic brand coolant.

My car has NOT ONCE gone past 3/4th heat and that is the reason I haven't had any bad head gaskets. Proof? How about repeated Bhg's on certain cars and none on others? Chances are the car overheated with the current owner or previous owner and the block or head(s) is warped.
