2023 Integra A spec Head Gasket Failure
Mechanic video of the problem
I recently purchased the car with 27k miles and within 2 months of owning one I had the heat alert alarm go off. I pulled over and found my coolant tank was bone dry. The car is still under warranty so the dealer is not charging me to fix the head gasket but I was wondering if there is significant risk of permanent cylinder damage that will crop up later when the car is no longer covered by warranty?
My preliminary research on reddit shows me that this seems to be an (unfortunately) somewhat common issue. Any advice from those who have experienced a similar problem and managed to avoid permanently costly damage?
I drive only highway, use 93octane fuel, and the car has regular service records prior to my purchase.
Thanks for any advice I can get, I am kind of in shock that this type of failure could happen so early in the car's lifespan =(
