EG civics are know to do this of course but what are your experiences after repair (New Gasket, Head sent out to a machine shop etc.) i'm the type of guy that will get the whole engine replaced but I'm looking @ a '94 civic with 110k original miles think the owner had a bad thermostat and ran it hot causing the gasket to blow.

Do they do well after this service is performed, do they last?

Thanks!
