yes, postage to me is payable yourself. I then post it back there may be a surcharge to post it to northern ireland though.

The headwork isnt done in-house at Vsport, a local motorsport company does it, very good quality work, have had experience with british touring cars and ferrari. also do a lot of bike engines.

He's meant to be very good, but I did think that. Might get him to re-seat all the valves aswell.

Gary is the bollox.
He is cheap cos he is not a company, so he works on the heads at Home in his workshop.
Its abit like saying why regal charge £5000 for a C20XE into a Corsa where people like myself can do them for £1500.
You get the same job no matter where you go.........





If that dosent say it all Put a post up on MIG and you will see all the BIG power boys and there LET's are all running Gary's heads.

That head is pure sex.

He said 5-10% more air flow, this mean 5-10% more power?
