Generally speaking what would you expect to get if you were to buy a head from an individual?

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you mean how complete would I expect the head to be (what would I expect to GET if I were to BUY a head); I'd expect to get everything (except the oil tube, as I always buy a new one). Head itself, cam towers, cam, springs, and valves.

Yes bambi, that is what I was asking. That is what I expected too but the seller pulled the cam and valve cover off. I must say that I am partially at fault for not being 100% clear on what I expected. He is making good on it though, late last night he said that I can have the missing items.

I just wanted to make sure that I was not being unreasonable in expecting thecomplete head ready to bolt onto a block.

I would expect it to be ready to bolt on, but would not expect the head bolts or valve cover to be part of the deal. cam should definitely be included, unless specified otherwise.
