92 integra LS with 189000 miles when do you need to install new gaskets on head?
There is really no reason to. Unless a car overheats enough to warp the head, there is no good reason the head gasket should fail.
Car won't start and oil is milky car ran well a couple of days ago. What is the problem?
Sounds like a blown head gasket
What can cause the engine oil to overflow onto the spark plugs of a car engine?

Does low compression and engine won't start mean a blown head gasket on a car that overheated?
If it was a head gasket then the compresion would be low in the affected cylinders low compresion as a result of wear wil make the car hard to start and overheating can also lead to electrical problems, Besides blowing a head gasket, overheating can also cause a cylinder head ro crack. Low compression and engine not starting or hard to start are symptoms. As mentioned above, do not discard the possibility of electrical problems due to overheating. However, the prime suspects are blown head gasket and/or cracked cylinder head.
Can low oil cause a blown head gasket and can a blown head gasket cause coolant leakage and overflow from the reservoir?
Low oil could be a reason for a blown head gasket. No lubrication causes more friction and metal fatigue. A blown head gasket can cause many problem like coolant leakage and reservoir overflow and can lead to much bigger problems in a big hurry. If you can't fix the car then you do have one option left, but remember that the car is still broke! Don't idle in traffic or drive it more than 30 miles or attempt this in the Winter when temps are below freezing and make sure you plan ahead and allow your car to have some cool-down time. If you have to use the car then here is what you can do to get by... I had a blown head gasket on an '83 Ford pickup that did the same thing and it lasted until the body rusted out. What you can do is loosen the radiator cap to the safety notch. (DO NOT DO THIS IF THE CAR IS HOT!!! Scalding water will burn in less than a second!!! sorry.... gotta point that out) This will allow some of the pressure to escape along with some water. Your car will still continue to puke out water like it did before, but if you always make sure it's full before you leave again... you won't have to walk. Carry at least two gallons of water with you wherever you go. Hats off to your needed repair cause that's a schit load of elbow greese right there. I give it 8½ tubes on my difficulty scale!!!

What does it mean when your car oil is milky and the head gaskets are not bad?
How do you know the gasket is not bad? f you oil is milky then there is moisture mixed with the oil. This can be a blown head gasket or a warped or cracked head.
Is it worth it to fix blown head gaskets?
That depends on the age of the car..the number of miles and how much the car is worth versus how much it costs to have the work done...do if you have a twelve year old car with 125000 miles and it's only worth 1500 dollars....and a head gasket job costs $400...then is that car worth about 2000 dollars to you??? And if the head gaskets are blown, chances are, that there are several other issues with that car..blown head gaskets are usually due to poor maintenance or abuse. Is the risk worth the expense if the transmission is probably going to go out soon...or if the car was driven for a while with the blown gasket...then your probably also going to have the engine seize up soon because the engine oil was contaminated with engine coolant and the bearings are now in really bad condition...always be aware that something as severe as a blown head gasket can lead to other serious repairs.
How much could you sell a 2000 ford taurus with blown head gaskets for?
If this is a nice car then spend the money and have the blown head gasket repaired before you try to sell it. With a blown head gasket it is only worth what someone will pay.
