Check out this "ZC" head.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-ZC-head-w-adjustable-cam-gears-gaskets-intake_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33617QQitemZ7996 301944QQrdZ1
First of all this is not a ZC head, it's a D16A1 head, notice how the valve cover says "HONDA MOTOR CO.", not "HONDA" like a true ZC.
He says it's been polished... where?
Skunk2 cam gears sell for about $100 each. Besides those are 32 tooth B-series cam gears, they won't work on a D16A1. A D16A1 uses 40 tooth cam gears.
He paid about $100 too much for the gasket set.
It will not fit a D15 motor.
It will not fit any d16 motor either unless it's a d16A1. His "professional mechanic" friend should know this.
$400 is absurd!
$150 for shipping?
36xxx miles? More like x36xxx miles, judging by the worn cams.
I love how he threw the wrong head bolt and some assembly lube in the picture. Are we supposed to think that this means he knows what he's talking about? Because obvoiusly, with the wrong bolts, you'd need to use assembly lube to remove the head, right?
Check his feedback, half of his buyers left negatives or neutrals.
He's just trying to make his old crap sound better than it is, but what would you expect from a guy named "Dickman".

Sorry,
RPR is down again, I'm going through withdrawls!
This guy is trying to pull a scam. Part of the reason I posted this is so that you guys (and girls) can be informed and not fall for this crap, and also because I'm bored.
At least he has a "high strung" ZC intake manifold.
P.S.
I asked him to send me the casting numbers off of the cams, I doubt they are ZC's.

He replied "stock or aftermarket?" and said nothing else.
