how bout you just change the cam seal thats on the dizzy side. That's what leaks on those motors. Get an aftermarket one because the oem ones suck.

Vtec solenoid has a gasket that hardens up after time. Replace it and go from there. OEM head gaskets are best so tell yur boy otherwise

The head gasket would be the last thing i would change. Its the most work and the most expensive to do. I would start with the vtec solenoid gasket, then the dizzy o ring.
