It's your own bloody fault.

There were also issues with maintenance of the fully aluminium alloy engine block, which required skimming of both the block and the head on each head gasket change due to the engine's tenancy to warp when overheated.

IIRC the problem here was that during development, they were supposed to do a (say) 10,000 mile road test to find all the problems, but they didn't have time to do it properly: so they simply went round and round a test track until they racked up enough miles to tick that box.

Which of course meant that the cooling system has a nice easy time of it.
