So, my machinist says my head is done for. "Fatal crack" Moment of silence, please.

I'm looking for a new head, 1.6 hydro or 1.9, to put on my 1.6TD.
Anyone out there have one, or know where I can get one?
Looking for new, not used. The real deal, no Chinese copies.
And, yes, I searched the for sale and vendors section before asking...
Thanks!
so, if your looking for a new head, why dont you go to the dealer and spend 800 on an AAZ head?
I will take your junker...alot of machinists don't know jack. Even so nothing is beyond repair for some...so if you are throwing it away I will take it.
Dealer is your only option for new I would guess. Many have done topline, they aren't china, I think they are brazil.
Spend some time wading through all the parts on "the Samba."
Recently, there was a fellow from Kansas with a NEW german head minus all the valves and springs, etc.
Edit: yes, there is one from Kansas currently showing at $375 without freight. Not sure where it was manufactured.
The folks at

try ebay.de and search for vw diesel zylinderkopf.
go to boraparts.com and give aaron a call, he is the best and can get you a new 1.6td head for around 550 and an AAZ head for around 700
