While I agree that you need a new head, I will go in another direction.

If you try to remove the head it may turn into a real expensive mess. The studs may break off in the block, and you wont know what condition the cylinders will be in. Have you done a compression test?

How important is engine reliability to you? What is your budget? If you need the engine and it must be reliable then you have to remove the head and go from there.

If you can live with some engine problems, you can wait a while to do the job. How long is anyone's guess. But to replace the head, manifold and add FWC you are talking 1K or more...I think.

But sooner or later you will need to fix or replace the engine.
