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. | |

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. | |

You can if the head isn't warped or anything. | |

It definitely wants skimming! Price seems reasonable. You couldnt do it yourself properly for £33! | |

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. | |
