Send it to Millenium; they'll fix you up. Retail for a re-nic is around $450, I'd have to see the head to give you a guesstimate.

Yeah I called millenium and they really know their stuff. They can even plate the bore if its oval'ed and get it back into a circle! He was very knowledgable about the rx/apex blocks, and I think lakercr pointed out a oil restrictor that they used to accidently dissolve when cleaning the block and now they have that issue fixed so you could trust them.
A good machine shop can repair the head if its not horrible.
