I have a 715 diesel combine and 15 years ago the head cracked (it has the exact same head) and lo and behoe after I received 3 repaired heads one of them even was patched with body putty where cavitation occured really badly I finally got a new head. It cost nearly $1400 by the time I was done with the head. Do you put on a new head with old rings? I did and re rung the engine the next summer and replaced the bearings. Beleive you me you will spend most all of $2000 and still not have what you expect.
Maybe it was my luck but I know that there were more parts available 15 yrs ago and repairs do go up. Maybe it was my luck with the salvage yards I dealt with but I wonder after what I have seen at times.
Just my 2 cents worth--
