blew headgasket need new head
i blew my head gasket and the shop told me the head needs to be rebuilt for $1200 i got the head gasket repaired but need a head really soon. I found a rebuild f22b2 head on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...Q5fAccessories) for 350 but was wondering whats the best (direct bolt) head to go with the f22b2 besides the stock one? thanks

1. Pickup a haynes manual ($20)
2. Get a head gasket replacement kit, coolant and oil change items. ($150)
3. take off the head and bring it to a machine shop to be resurfaced ($150)
*the machine shop may or may not redo the valves for you. If not you can attempt it yourself or bring it to a shop when you are done for it to be professionally done.
4. Follow the manual step by step and put it back together
5. Tell the shop charging ($1200) that we are in a recession and they inspired you to do it yourself
