head gasket?

alright the problems all started when the bottom half of my radiator blew out drivin down a back road. drove it home then straight to the shop. had the car off most of the time only had it on when it needed a lil gas to get up a hill. i get it back a week later (had to come up with 600), had the radiator replaced and about 4 or 5 censors... a lil less then a week later the engin and srs light come on so i took it to a different shop and he turned it around over night... spark plugs, spark plug wires, and an emissions modulater (whatever that is... in the distriputer box) he said he found radiator fluid on the spark plugs #2 and #4. now the light is on again but my money source is dry on tryin to fixe this i believe it to me a head gasket and/or oil gasket it has been burnin a some oil aswell since theradiator blew... this is a 96 accord with 156k should i get the head gasket replaced or just get a used engin with lower milage and drop it in? where are some good places to look for a used replacement or updrade engine? i also have a lot more free time now since summer is here and college is over so i will be doing all of the myself... and feedback or volenters to help (lol) whould be greatly helpfull thanks
