Default Whats with all the blown head gaskets as of late?

Is this a weakness in Honda's? Granted some of the vehicles are 10 years plus, but hell, I've had cars over 30+ years old and no head gasket issues!! Or is this due to many revving and running the **** out of their Honda's???

D15B7/D15B8 engines had known headgasket issues, other than that they're generally caused by overheating the engine.

Just thank god you dont have a subaru. Those engines should include replacing the headgaskets as normal maintenance item with the timing belt.
