Ok, so I found a new head for my 2000 Leganza, would this be all that I need to replace?

its a head with all the valves installed on it ...right?

if that so then yes thats all you need to get the car running but check the timing belt tensioner and water pump (and better to replace them) before you put your engine back on.

a faulty tensioner will cause the same problems just like a broken timing belt and a faulty water pump will require the same amount of work that you are doing right now... you are better off doing that now.
