Overheating is not the only thing that can cause problems, using cheap coolant can also cause the head/block to get corroded(I have seen this happen personally). But if water is not entering the engine, then probably its the oil cooler. Logically if the head gasket is the problem, water will enter the engine. One test the mechanic will do is remove the spark plugs and use an airgun and spray into the opening. If water comes out, then its a serious problem.BTW you still didn't answer why you changed the head gasket 6 months ago.</blockquote>
