To stress the importance of proper coolant, I have seen a number of
cylinder heads with holes eaten into the deck surface requiring
expensive deck welding repair by the machinist. The V8s are prone to
this as are the older inline sixes. (m130, m108, m110, etc) This is
caused by a poor coolant servicing regimen, if any at all!
Change your coolant regularly folks. Do not let this happen to you.

The corrosion inhibitors are different -- the green stuff isn't
adequate for engines with large amouts of iron and aluminum in contact
with the coolant at the same time, resulting en excesive corrosion. It
can get so bad the head gasket will blow into a cylinder or cooling
passage.
