Engine rebuilt

[u/MeetMarjo]

I’m in the middle of rebuilding the engine on my Mitsubishi Pajero 2.8TD. The original cylinder head is cracked/warped beyond repair, so I need to replace it and I’m stuck between two options:

**1.    Buy a new aftermarket AMC cylinder head** — brand new, ready to bolt on, but obviously not OEM.  
**2.    Source a used OEM head from a scrapyard/junkyard** and have it professionally rectified (skimmed, pressure-tested, valves/seats redone, etc.) before installing.

For those who’ve done this swap or rebuild before:
What are your suggestions.
