early 22r cylinder head source?

Looking for a replacement head for my 1983. LCE and Engnbldr don't supply pre 85 head castings. Anyone have a reputable reman source recommendation?

Considering this, but looks like at least a week out:

Seems like a decent price. I'd be curious to know if it's built in China and or Chinese parts. I didn't see they're manufacturing info

Same question I have...

Rebuild isn't the main issue. It's the casting. I'll put up a few pics of what I found after the engine pumped an incredible amount of water out the exhaust pipe in a short period.

Area of HG blown out
Casting thickness
Casting thickness where material corroded
pitting, casting wall corroded away

There's this place but I don't know anything about them.
My head is at a machine shop now being checked out.

i'll give them a call tomorrow, thx for the heads up. NAPA had a listing similar to the oreilly one, but when I called they said not available.

Also going to take mine to a local machine shop to see if they can weld and mill... that would take care of the issue I think.
