It might have head gasket leakage, but 125 psi is lousy, there’s more bad than a gasket.
I agree with the other folks that have responded. You probably need the engine changed, not just a head gasket.
My mechanic and myself (with the help of you folks and the hive mind in general) came to that very same conclusion. And then I decided since this car was 14 years old and had 165K miles on it and I cannot do the work myself, and also I only paid $4K for it six years ago so I got my money’s worth…so I traded it in at a Toyota Dealership and bought a 2017 Corolla with 32,000 miles on it. Done and done. Thanks everyone!
