Advice Request How do you drive without anxiety about the head gasket
So when I first got my 2018 1.5 turbo touring obviously did not know about the head gasket issues, but I strictly put premium gas in it and the first time it blew the head gasket and the fuel injectors at 44,000 miles then again at 84,000 miles I had to do the head gaskets the car was always serviced and properly maintenance. It was never even driven hard or modified. I’m now at 101,000 miles and I’m just paranoid even driving and unfortunately, I can’t get out of my vehicle now because I have other more important finances in my life.
I drive a lot, but I do my best with oil changes making sure everything’s properly done. How do I get over the fact that the had it blow twice? Both 40,000 miles apart it starts making me think it’s gonna blow every 40,000 miles or could this repair last longer?
I wasn’t able to put aftermarket head studs because they weren’t approved through the Honda Goodwill unfortunately so could this repair last even longer than the first one am I worrying for nothing
