Perkins M30

I need a head for a Perkins M-30 Nothing out here in Hawaii. Does any one have a lead on where to find one?
Thanks

Perkins M30 (also VP MD2030) is actually an ISM/Shibaura 103-10, used near-ubiquitously for small engine power. I'm guessing there are shops even in Hawaii that service agricultural equipment and reefers (refrigerated trucks). A little sleuthing around to find a knowledgable mechanic or partsman will likely find a serviceable used one somewhere on the islands.

Thanks for the help folks. I ended up buying a head from parts 4engines in England. Only 60 d0llars shipping plus duty.
I suspected a bad injector as there was no water intrusion evident. Took the injectors to a rebuilder and he confirmed number 1 injector was frozen open. Hence I hydro locked the engine leading to a bent connecting rod. The other injectors were not operating properly either.
This problem probably resulted from insufficient use. Like most things mechanical they don't like to set around.
Now on to the rebuild.
