Who in UK re-works Cyl; Heads ?

Post by Polarsilver »

Advice please .. Do i buy a new Minispares Alloy Head ( i have some worrys about corrosion issues with a new ali head on a used cast block) or should i have a still standard used Cyl; Head fully reworked & ported for my std; bore 1071 .. Q where in UK can i get this job done ?
Your advice or experiences on either route would be appreciated. :)

Lots of people will do head work, places like MED and Swiftune will sell you a head to their proven specs or for people that do them on a more individual basis (in no particular order):
Phil @ TurboMini
AC Dodd
Calver
Alex @ The Car Kitchen
Crafted Classics
and no doubt many more.

The ali heads - nice bit of kit but consider that they may still need further work, especially if the combustion chamber size they come with isn't what you need for your CR.
