I'll second that. When I first bought mine I wasn't aware of the HG problems. For the first three months of ownership the car ran fine, apart from having to add coolant on a regular basis, also noting that when I would open the fill cap there always seemed to be pressure. Then the car overheated on me, once. I tested for combustion gases in the coolant reservoir and guess what. I continued to drive it for another month and had no further instance of overheating or need to add coolant. When I pulled it apart the gaskets were shot. Good luck!
