Default Dohc 2.0 rs2000 16v cylinder head options!!!


as per the title, got a mechanic booked in tomorrow to do a pressure test on the engine, but I'm sure it won't hold up.
Got moisture at the exhaust, and the lower return pipe at the radiated is red hot and the top pipe cold before the stat
Eventually opens, also the fact that the fan doesn't kick in, and hasn't done since I've had it ( a year) its now been
Parked up.
So I'm expecting head failure.
I just want to get it running regardless of performance.
What or if are there any other compatible heads which will bolt on??
How much to repair the existing head??
And any recommendations,or even some member off here
Who can carry out the work, cheers people

these heads crack for fun. We've scrapped tons of 2.0's and 2.3's because they've been overheated and cracked. not many options really apart from finding another rs2k head, or getting a scorpio one and blanking the waterways off somehow (could have them welded up)

It might be cheaper in the long run??
