	roughly 10% gains, but depends very much on the skill of the person doing it. If you're not doing any other tuning then save yourself the money.

	had the cambelt changed bout a month ago!! finding out tomorrow whats exactly wrong. Whats this about having it ported and what gains am i looking at??!!!! ta

	You only need it skimming if the head has warped. and you really should put a new cam belt on while you've got the head off, but £50 and abotu 4hours sounds reasonalble. But if you have aircon then it's a right mare, so will cost more.

	couldnt buy the gaskets and bolts for that price!
RichiesCorsa	posted on 20th Oct 04 at 19:52
	You can if the head isn't warped or anything.
ainsley_brader	posted on 20th Oct 04 at 17:58
	It definitely wants skimming! Price seems reasonable. You couldnt do it yourself properly for £33!

	Im replacing the head gasket on my 1.4 16v and its costing me £33 and a saturday.

	I paid about £400 to have the head gasket changed, the head skimmed as it was proper warped, and all the valves needed to be re-seated.
