old gaskets put back on by engine builder, you can tell the head was never cleaned out just from the state of the exhaust outlets. also, see the welds underneath them if you zoom in.

so yeah, one scrap head. luckily i found another one as mentioned above. head porn incoming....

here we are, brand new, never used authentic 2wd yb head, found of facebook of all places! i sent the serial numbers to cosworth and they confirmed that it was manufactured back in 2008 and shipped to the states. the bloke i brought it off gave me his purchase history, he bought it in 2012 for a project that never went ahead so he shelved it. he paid 5k including shipping and tax for it! I paid 2k
