So now you're going to pick on me because I'm only 18? I'll get my dad to come on the forums and then we'll see who's boss.
I'm not specifically arguing with the article, it has a number of good points. Cooling system maintenance is not relevant, as this should be done on ANY car, personally I would flush the system far more regularly than suggested by the gospel... I mean the article you stole... I mean cited. Yes, that's it.
But now that you mention it.. why aren't cylinders 3 and 4 prone to damage due to the red hot lump of metal they call a "turbo" (you do know what a turbo is, right?) that sits practically on top of them? If given the choice 20 minutes after a vehicle has been driven, I'd much rather touch an exhaust component than the turbo itself.
Not saying that the heat issues mentioned aren't relevant.. but I'm saying they're probably no worse than on any other passenger vehicle. The article doens't really offer any proof, just speculation. Apparently they are more prone to blowing on 5 & 6... this means nothing! If you follow the same logic, you could end up thinking that the firewall causes blown head gaskets, because cylinders 5 & 6 are closest. Spare me.
It's just that people notice a lot more when it's a 7M head gasket. My hosuemate blew a number of head gaskets on a non turbo VL Commodore due to poor installation. Bet you don't hear that RB30's munch head gaskets? Because they have a factory weakness - in the head torque - people associate every failure with the same problem, when in fairness this is most likely not the case.
More than anything I'm getting at the fact that you came in here, all guns blazing acting like you were the great Lord God of 7M's and had written the book on the things. I have not said the information is incorrect, I have just said that you should say "here is a link, you may find it relevant".
My other main argument is that your performance shop buddy (whose workshop apparently doesn't have a name) obviously doesn't know what he's doing.
