I haven't found anything specifically discussing this process so I was hoping we could get some of the experts here to walk us through what exactly happens, why it happens, and the rate / progression at which it occurs?
I personally am asking because I'm at around 6,200 miles now and what has me curious the most is if this process is something that happens progressively over time, like a "cancer" if you will, or if the gasket warps instantly upon an extreme overheat scenario, however short or long that may last. If I knew for a fact that I was "in the clear", I'd go ahead and make some major investments incl full exhaust, air filter, PCV, etc. and not look back, but if there was a chance I was slowly edging my way towards that warranty work, I'd hold off. Opinions guys?
