    So a little update on this, successfully rethreaded, but ended up cracking the head

    That sucks, bad luck. Replacing the cylinder head is a bit of a chore (plus new replacement heads can be costly unless you find a 2nd hand one. + tools like torque wrench if not already owned).

    If you don't readily have everything needed, including a repair or service manual (you need the exact torque for cylinder head bolts + it's good to have instructions for the job), perhaps better to have a shop do the replacement.

    You can still hunt for a cheaper replacement part, most shops will be ok with fitting a part you provide I think.
