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. Good luck indeed- he knew that no Accord in any junkyard in America still had its head- all get sold to the guy at the top of the waiting list as soon as they come in.
Those were fun times- buying oil by the case for the kids' junker cars (standard criteria for addition to the fleet was "runs and drives"), teaching oil changing and minor repairs, etc. Daughter, especially, took to it- still drives 20 year old Subarus until they croak, always on the lookout for the next one. She got free rides home from college across the pass in winter, once she made it known that she would put the chains on if necessary, all by herself, and the other girls wouldn't have to lay in the snow or risk breaking a nail. She even had a little satchel with coveralls, groundcloth and pliers.
