My Head Troubles

I have a 01 XK8 that recently had the dreaded head problem occur, I am contemplating whether I should fix my engine(do head job,replace chain tensioners) or replace with good used engine. Any input would be appreciated . the car has 116k miles and the transmission was replaced. Or should I just sell the whole mess.....Any input is appreciated.

What's it going to fix the 118k mile engine in your car? I did a quick search and found plenty of low mileage engines for $2k I'd rather buy a 29k mile engine for $2500 shipped, spend a grand getting it put in and then have a 29k mile engine and a new trans as opposed to fixing a 116k mile engine.

www.car-part.com is a good place to search.
