So this came up when I was diagnosing my gf's 02 v6, car has been overheating and I'm wondering what needs to be done to correct this issue? I'm thinking that the heads need to be redone?
Thanks for your help and opinions.

Compression and leakdown check first. Nothing there? Coolant system pressure test.

If it's over 125k, it's probably a HG. Just my experience.
