Looks like my '89 needs new head gaskets as of a couple of nights ago. The car has about 103k miles and I believe these are the original gaskets. The car is running hot, fluid in the radiator doesn't appear to be moving while the engine is running, looks like it pushed coolant out the overflow, as I had streaks down the passenger side of the car, and the upper radiator hose seems to have a lot of pressure in it even with the engine cold. I saw no steam/water coming out of the exhaust and the oil still looks good, but I think the gaskets must be leaking.
What else should I go ahead and replace while it is apart, assuming the problem is the head gaskets? I am looking to fix or prevent anything else that is likely to crop up in the future, so I can drive the car more than a few days without something else breaking
