Looking to buy a new head for my 420a eclipse and don't know where I should order from, my reason for needing a head is I sold the car March 2016, and bought it back may of 2016, they overheated it and blew the head gasket, the head was warped badly, I used a large board and sandpaper to get rid of the warping, I reused the old head bolts and had oil mixing into my antifreeze, pulled the last head bolt on the passenger side top right and put washers on it, the problem seems to have stopped but because I took the head down so much the timing is off, I timed many of these and never had a head milled, they were always good and the crank arrow kept lining up about a half tooth advanced when cams were alighted tried over and over, idles rough sometimes, engine light for timing off and too rich, what kinda head could I get that would slightly boost hp? Not looking to go turbo nor do I plan to hit 250 hp but maybe like 155-160 or more, looking to get a refurbished head and gasket along with maybe headers, if I can keep it quiet still and gain hp, any opinions or suggestions will help as this is my first time purchasing engine parts online, looking to do this on a bit of a budget
