The extent of the damage won't be known until the head is removed. If
this is the original engine it would not make sense to rebuild just the
head. If you were mechanically inclined you could rebuild the engine
yourself for about the same cost as a used engine. In 2000 I rebuilt a
Dodge 2.2L for about $700. In 2006 I rebuilt a Mitsubi**** 2.0L turbo for
about $2200, but that included a few upgrades.
