Default Tech Shooting/Ideas Needed ~ d16z6

I have a 94 Civic EX Coupe with a stock (I can't believe its virgin myself because I own it) d16z6

When I bought the Civic it was overheating. I made a thread on how that problem was solved.

Current situation:

The new spark plugs were only put in about 1.5 months ago and all 4 spark plugs are showing corrosion on the thread.

Now if a headgasket is going would you see all 4 spark plugs show this sign or maybe 2 out of 4.

Any ideas on should I do a headgasket to solve the problem

or

there may be another issue that is causing my problem that needs to be resolved as well.

Also what is interesting the amount of coolant that I am having to add to the system for the unknown loss/leak has been lessening.

The oil seems to be fine with no indication of coolant in it.

thanks ~ angela

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
