What is your question?
2006 Honda civic was using coolant but not leaking (notified by oil change place and they added coolant or possibly only water.) Had pressure test at radiator shop, it passed. Took car to dealer and they did a block test and it passed. They told me it passed via a phone message and I called back about 1 or 2 hours later and the advisor starts to tell me again that it passed as he had on the voice message and then is interrupted by someone and tells me he will call me back, which was the next day. He then explains that the engine has now failed and indeed does have a blown head gasket because they did what the called a hard rev test and said that there were bubbles. I feel as though I'm being lied to. He never mentioned colored dye only bubbles but the paper work calls it a block test. This car had a recalled engine (long block) and was replaced and now 80,000 miles later they are saying it has a blown head gasket. Car has never overheated since new engine was put in. Twice it got a little warm after about 10 minutes or idling while waiting in a line in 100 plus degree weather (about 3/4 of the way on the temp gauge) and then immediately went down when I started driving . Was only warm like that for 1 minute or so. I also do all the maintenance when required. Do these results make sense? Car is running perfectly and does not leak, no white smoke, no water in oil. Every morning I check the coolant level and it is staying at the same place on the neck of the radiator and reservoir is stable. Heater works fine too. No codes have ever come on, nor has any lights come on. Does it sound like a problem or that they are trying to dupe me because I am a woman? Thanks so very much for any input.
