Default head gaskets

The 93 6 speed overheated 135,000 miles
Steam coming out. Don't know if its one or both heads, but I'll change both and while the heads are off they will be serviced. Lookin on line there are a few types of head gaskets avalible.Any advise?At this time I'll also update the optispark and put in a new water pump.With this many miles I might as well put in a new radiator. Just picked this one up and I knew about the head gaskets but got an honest deal.Thanks

Victor Reinz makes a quality head gasket that is cheap and will give you a 1/2 point compression increase.
