Condition is "Used". This head has been cleaned. We have cleaned the carbon off the valves. we have also replaced the Valve stem seals on this head. the head was removed off of a working 07 Audi A4 with 100k miles.
This is as described apart from not mentioning that there’s silver paint all over it to make it appear clean in the photos. I’ll take a part without paint any time even if it looks more “used”.
The issue is with paint on all bearing and sealing surfaces like cam cradle, injector bores, etc I spent way too much time cleaning the sealing surfaces . I’ll take no leaks over pretty any day.
