It sounds like the labour of changing a BHG would be the priciest part. I think my friend and I could change the HG though, but not refurbish the head.
Awaiting the details man! Any knowledge you have about either topic is extremely valued!

This will give you some idea of the cost of a BHG repair, depending on how bad the head surface is, you could get away with just cleaning it up yourself, providing its flat enough. As I went to all the trouble or removing it, I decided to have it refurbished. Gaskets are around GBP 100. Toyota head bolts are GBP 8 each or ARP studs/bolts GBP 100 per set. As you can see it soon mounts up. A lot more info HERE. The pound sign doesn’t work on the form so I've used GBP instead, the dollar $ sign is ok though. Surrey in the UK I assume.
The prices in the invoice should be about the same today.
