What brand Head gasket?
The coolant overflow is 3/4 full since getting gas the other week. This is what happened when the head gasket failed the first time (120K ago). I need to do a few quick checks tonight but I am 95% sure that is what I am going to find. So please no need to tell me how to test for a bad head gasket. The Question is what type should I look at getting? The motor is a bone stock d16z6 with I/H/E. It has never been decked. I will spec it and see if it needs done but I don't think it will. Should I just go OEM, or get an aftermarket if you recommend after market please give cost material its made of and how well its held up for you.
Thanks everyone
Thanks everyone

This is the way I am leaning, and what I did the first time. I just was hopping for longer life than 100-120k. It seems like I just changed it even if it was 6 years ago.

OEM
That's what the vast majority of opinions will be.
