If you have a good machine shop you might take your "new" salvage head to them and request the absolute minimum work done. You might get by with a resurface and new valve seals (you could do those yourself). Of course the shop we sublet to conveniently finds something wrong with valves and seats on every head we send them, and we have to tell them exactly what we want done to keep the cost down. I wonder if seats dropping are common on this year/engine. I assume you have the 1.9 Ford engine vs the 1.8 Mazda. I haven't seen 1.9s do this but nothing would surprise me with that boat anchor.
