No I don't think it is worth it. I saw that auction when it first started. It's an early head- I don't know how early which means it could have the crappy exhaust guides (no seals) and the pressed in oil jets. It has aluminum RETAINERS...not titanium keepers. I don't know if the valve job is any good- probably not. Was it sanblasted or beadblasted??? There is a BIG difference. All that and it has the chipped fin too. Those heads are much more delicate compared to the stock head in the F. I'd take a pass on it unless it was real, real cheap.
