Update, rebuilt my new head & fitted.
Fired up the bike & hey ho, no oil leaking now.
I'm pretty happy now. (Until the next problem !)

That head can be repaired and very little cost, also be careful if torquing chrome plated bolts, they have a much lower torque spec as the surface of them is far more slippery.
