Was going to buy a used Honda Accord some years back for "the fleet" (3 kids of driving age still at home at the time), on which timing belt had broken and wrecked the head. Changing a head isn't such a big deal, and it was almost a give-away price. Luckily, I mentioned it to a gearhead friend before I bought- he suggested I locate a head in a wrecking yard first, and "good luck with that", he said.

She even had a little satchel with coveralls, groundcloth and pliers.
