short story 5 cent tour

I am a everyday driver so downtime is big deal. In my little head I got a brite idea, have a rebuilt head to replace the existing head henceforth no big downtime... 1st picked out a head at j-yard, turned out to be warped .013 and not enough material left to take additional .020 off to correct.
Went back to j-yar and eyed a 90 300sel, sweet car, head bolts pushing 200ft-lbs of torque and cant do it, give up on that one.
Look at a sweet little 90 260e head and pull it, not its here in garage awaiting word on the works to have it machined.
If it wont go or not worth it I will face the music and deal with downtime to get the original resurfaced.
