You may have it repaired already. But I got a Fel-Pro Head Gasket (#HS26330PT). It is the improved design. And new head bolts. Fel-Pro was recommended by pro mechanic.
While replacing HG I also installed new timing chain, VVT sprocket, water pump, belt, all pulleys and tensioner. Compression tests were very good.

I also replaced the radiator and hoses. After the HG was replaced it was over-heating. It was because the previous owner had been putting an additive in coolant to patch the HG issue. This resulted in stopping circulation thru radiator and causing it to rupture at seam. Flush out entire coolant system very well. Flushed out chunks of this putty type substance. Also installed a trans cooler because I plan on a fair amount towing.

2500 miles later its running great. I plan to keep her for a long time.

(05 v6 HG failure at 183000.)
