head gasket

Check this out, I can run a headgasket for about two months, when I let the car idle it builds heat and the head gasket blows out. Now it doesnt just go right away, it takes a while, like two months!! Or if I idle the thing like say over an hour (in line to get into McCormick center to HIN). The car will build temp up even if the fan is on all the time, I have wired my fan up to a switch to have it on constantly. I've replaced the head gasket about 4 times all last season. I have yet to remove it and get it checked for straightness.

I am just looking for any reasons you ppl might have experienced on this issue. I do NOT want to get the head "O" ringed as that will then not be blowing my head gasket but my block. Head gasket is cheaper to replace than a whole motor.

Holla, with your opinions................................

Peace,
