96 civic overheating and burning coolant
So I have a 1996 civic its been over heating with this hot weather , it only over heats after about 70 miles , my coolant burns away because I don't see no leak and sometimes coolant stays at perfect levels but still over heats.. What can be my issue? No clicking or white smoke, does get sluggish after a bit and rpms drop and raises like crazy while I warm it up at first start ..

Black sludge within a motor is from bad oil, over-used oil, bad oil filters, over-used oil filters, or occasionally mixing different types of non-compatible coolant. If anything, burning coolant would have steam cleaned certain parts of your engine, not caused black sludge.

Heavy sludge means one of two things. Either shitty oil/filter/maintenance, or you drove knowing the head gasket was failed, for a long period of time, which would also fit under shitty maintenance. It doesn't just suddenly appear.

I don't particularly give a damn how long you've been building engines. Different engines have different issues and different peculiarities. If you really have been building engines "since 1974", you would know this. What you are describing simply won't happen to a Honda motor, unless it has been woefully neglected.
