        Nah, most ej open deck blocks just have too small a sealing surface and too weak of cylinders to keep a HG intact with a composite gasket. Coolant type has almost nothing to do with it, switching to a MLS gasket that can’t migrate fixes most of their issues.

          I have had 5 of the things so far in my life, not one headgasket needed. Its the coolant additives that eat the gaskets, use the right coolant and no issues. Well that and don’t bounce on the redline like an idiot.
