That is correct.

Bananas in exhaust ports do nothing. Bananas in tailpipes do little as well (use a good potato). But that is because of restriction of exhaust gasses.

As for water, half boils out right away. The Honda engine wasn't brand new out of the box, it was broken in, plenty of tolerance for a steam cushion. I had a '92 Ranger with 204,000km on it when a head gasket leaked and was mixing ooil and antifreeze. Drove it no problem for 2 weeks back and forth to Oakville while I looked for another truck. And the oil looked like a chocolate milkshake.
