Its not that bad, if you head and block are ok. Minor cracks can be fixed in alum heads. Ususally what I do is swap the head for reburbished one with a machine shop for a flt fee. Around $200 worst case.
Just pull the head off have it inspected by a local machine shop for warpage and cracks.
Buy all new gaskets, head, intake exhaust, do not disconnect any ac lines. Should cost around $100 for oils and gaskets if head is ok. Worst case $300.
This is what i have paid for a few engines I have done.
Try the compression test, and surf for net for rebuilt heads.
Just found one price of 289 for 7year warranty head..
Never used this company yet though...
