My experience would lead me toward exchanging the head. This is much

I received an offer of a cylinder head from a 300td to swap out on
my 1985
300td wagon with the sedan engine and incorrect head. The point of this
exercise is to restore the car to a true wagon with a functioning self
levelling system. First question regarding a used head is whether
and how I
can test it to tell if it's good. Another choice is among several
running
300TD engines I could purchase. If I went that route I could sell
my 300D
engine, presumably, although perhaps the labor cost would be higher.
What
are the other merits and demerits of either approach?
