well would the head need to be skimmed? caus the headgasket didnt go before just the cambelt bu this time both have gone! i dont know what cambelt they used but trust me im goin to find out!! ive spoken to a mechanic tonight and apperntly on meganes when they get hot the cams can sieze and cause the belt to snap, but mechanic number 2 says the over heating caused the cambelt to melt? which is more plausable? (not that i t matters) i think the plan is get a new head get a propa timing belt kit and get the head skimmed then get it timed properly, but we will see what happens, ill post pictures with progress

If ya want the job doin can do it cheap! as ya well know its jus the parts that are costly!!! Prob's cheapest option is to get a head from a breakers, skim it and fit that!!!!
