It woud cost less to replace the headgasket yourself and get the head skimmed.

Best bet is to take it apart and check it over using the haynes, no point in replacing the engine if all it needs is a light skimming and new gasket.

If you really want a 1.2 engine, wait until someone here gets a valver.
