Yeah, it may be cheaper...but not by enough to be worth it.

Head gasket changed with labor=$1400CDN
Result-->Same engine as before, 225 000kms, worked to shit and in crappy condition

New JDM Engine with labor=$1900CDN
Result-->New JDM Engine, 40 000kms, bigger turbo, awesome condition.

You do the math, may cost a little more, but save a lot in the long run and it is totally worth it.
