Head has not gone out yet. Regarding the rod, with all of the issues that you have already please do not try intermingling parts that don't belong together. The replacement rod is available at a-main, here is the link:

I already sent you one for free a week or so ago that did not really need to be replaced so rather than looking at a rod being $40 and trying to find a way to save a couple of bucks by buying a part that is not made for the engine you use, look at it like you will end up getting 2 rods for the price of one and just order the right part for your engine. Using the right components and not trying to kibble together things will save you some serious headaches down the road.
