Assuming its a z1 head since I tried a vx head gasket and it hasn't leaked) the thing is though, I'm not 100% sure if it's a z1 or a z6 head. How can I tell the difference? And if it's a z6 head should I start using premium or keep using regular?
Sn: I bought the car like this so I didn't even know it had a different head on it until I put on a dx head gasket and it was leaking bad

Yeah yours is a z6 head

this is awesome news of course, 2 more questions before I go, what parts do I have to buy "head specific" for my car (ex: plug wires, valve cover gasket, timing belt) and I just bought a set of vx plug wires for my car yesterday because I had dx ones for the longest time, do I need the si ones or are the vx ones good for right now?
