A variation on the same theme, I believe the Ford Zetec engine block and head
is all aluminium. When a colleagues Mondeo 2litre engine blew a head gasket and subsequently overheated, the local Ford Dealer wasn't confident he could
repair the engine (presumably because of the head/block warping) and so recommended a new engine which was duly fitted.
The moral of this story appears to be renew and keep up the strength of your anti-freeze and NEVER carry on driving a Ford fitted with a Zetec engine, which
is overheating. Has HJ or others heard of stories like these?

I think that advice goes for any car, but especially those with alloy heads and/or cylinder blocks.

Taking care not to over-strengthen the anti-freeze because too strong a mixture can result in the solution being less effective in dissipating heat.
