I have never heard of that. Here in USA we never use plain water
However, in the old days, when plain water was used, it was supposed to be changed every 500 miles. So change the water at 500 miles, then when it gets to 1000 miles, drain the water and put in green coolant (ethylene glycol). It prevents corrosion of the iron block and reduces interactions between the aluminium and the iron
I always put coolant in, never had a gasket problem
1972 decal - ethylene glycol installed at factory - before 1000 miles
