That's a tough one. If it is just bad gasket and the head isn't warped, it is probably worth rebuilding the head and replacing the gasket. If the head is warped, you will need a different one that has been reworked. Neither of the choices are particularly easy or inexpensive (respectively), even if you do the work yourself. IIRC, the tricky bit is getting the cams reinstalled correctly.

Pick a number, what is it worth to put the car back on the road ? What do the repair estimates come in at ?

Let us know the numbers and what you decide. I suspect some of us will be facing similar issues in the not too distant future...
