to replace the head gasket is an easy job... mostly like other engine (not like the Rx7 taught lol) just make sure that the head isnt damage before putting it back on. have it checked for crack and burned valves... it will pay for itself in the long run ... make sure also to flush the rad and cooling system.. it didnt blow for nothing !!... change thermostat too .. 170-175degree is the recommended temp unit from the factory. since your about the 120k miles maintenance i suggest you change the timing belt while youre there and check the front main seal for leaks.
