Hello my honda civic 96 makes the radiator gets dirty quickly, I've
already clean it 4 times, the first one was 8 months after i bought it
second one was 6 months after the first
the third one was 2 months after second
the fourth one was 2 weeks after the third

and the mechanic guy tells me that I must change the motor because the
coolant is destroying motor in the inside due to that it is stronger
from the one it used originally, all of this issue is acording to the
Motor BLOCK is from aluminiun (BLOCK: the vehicule part where it has
the pistons)

I don' t really know what to do best?

Please advice me to solve this problem

Nota: In the Dominican Republic there are garages where you can clean
your radiator

Hola tengo un honda Civic 96 que he tenido limpiarle el radiador

veces
la primera fue 8 meses despues de compralo
la segunda ves fue 6 meses despues de la primera
la tercera ves fue 2 meses despues de la segunda
y la cuarta ves fue 2 semanas despues de la tercera

Y mi mecanico me dice que que debo de cambiarle el motor porque el
Coolant esta destruyendo el motor por dentro ya que tenia era uno mas
fuerte que el que usa originalmente, todo esto se debe a que el BLOCK

pistones)

you need to use the correct coolant with corrosion inhibitors.  plain
water is bad.  use a high quality [low silicate] "antifreeze" and it
will last for years with no further problems.

possible, but not likely.  you may need to change the coolant pump
though.  you can buy used motors cheap enough if anything happens.

it's an aluminum block - there is no steel in the system except the
coolant pump and the coolant transfer pipe.
