BEST PLACE to buy new r53 head, without core charge?

Found out today at the machine shop, I have 2 cracks in exhaust valve port and along with other problems, itll be $700 to fix. So thats crazy, anyone know of a good place to get a new head, without some $800 core charge? I prob won't get it back because of the cracks. Any help would be great thanks.

Look on UK eBay. Low mileage heads sell for $300-$400 or so and eBay has cheap international shipping now.

We have the JCW cylinder heads we use for this same repair when an R53 has a head failure. No core charge on these.
