No compression in #2 Cylinder

Your head looks repairable.

Could you elaborate more on matching bearing caps? What is that?

The caps that hold down the camshafts. During the manufacturing process they are bolted to the head and then the holes that the cams rest in are bored. Each cap is numbered, so when you install the cams it's important to match the cap with the correct position on the head. If you buy a head without the original caps the holes may be close, but they won't be precise. Ed

Personally, I'd find a used engine for around 300 hundred dollars. spare parts are nice to have, just check the compression or get some guarantee on the motor.
