The incidence of failure is certainly less than the original.
The only problems I know of are where there are unsolved underlying problems with the engine re liner heights, head warped, unsolved coolant loss etc.
I had the uprated gasket fitted 50,000 miles ago, and it's still fine(touch wood).
I would say that the best thing I ever did was fit a low coolant alarm!
Anyone willing to advise about the new multilayer headgasket with the uprated bottom rail. I have just put it in to my 2000 F.
not sure if it has been a proven success as yet.

Where might I purchase such a device?
