its obd2 he wont be able to sue the harness.....and for just the head heck technically well normally you can get a whole mini me for 150 thats good head, harness, ecu, etc.....now yea a y8 head is good but to be honest who knows what else could be wrong could have metal shavings in the head which would make crap worse....etc....

But you never know what else is wrong....

Id say to be honest look under the valve cover see if theres any shiny stuff (i.e. metal shavings ) if so then pass if not offer 100 even and see what happens.....just read comes with all accessories as well so i mean your getting a decent amount exspecially if you get it for 100. but try and get him to beleive which it also might need machine work on the crank....
