Dont think i would actually trust Ellesmere port engine shop to carry out this sort of work. Had a head skim done by them and they dont seem to have much of a place. 
 
Why was yours hard to do Mark????

he was worried because it was a corsa that it would blow up again coz everyone who drives a corsa is a boy racer 
 
its going back soon i think he used the original head and not a reconned one
