Just looking for Head

As far as we can tell, just the head needs to be replaced. I don't want to go the the dealership if I don't have to.

Does anyone know a good place to get a new or used head?

Thanks,

SA

Thanks Peter, this is great.

Do I get to this area from under the car, inside the hood or somehow inside the wheel well?

Will I have to remove the fender to get to this?
