I was making a subtle point, In my experience the 4 cyl are not prone to overheating. Specifically they came from the factory with a decent cooling system.

However like most aluminum head engines they are not very tolerant if it happens.

I guess that was my point too, radiators get plugged up, water pumps, hoses and water jackets fail or get plugged up with junk and the engine then is at greater risk than most to crack a head. I had an old Isuzu trooper with the same problem. Just sayin, Turbo conversion aside, the V6 engine is a preferable choice for me anyway.
