Default where to buy a used head?

been trying to locate a used head but cant find anything.. anyone have any ideas.. I figure betting just the valves done in my head is going to be more then just getting a used head, less downtime as well because i wont have to wait for mine to get redone..

Didnt you find out on the zine that an AEB head will work with ATW block? All you need to use is your ATW valve cover so you can use the ATW coil packs right? I cant imagine an AEB head would be too hard to find?
