Yeah Tony, People who dismiss my work will always find a special place in my heart!

Phil Holmes was more that happy to accept that old CVH head with a light peppering of det marks, and surprisingly (to you only?), the car is an absolute missile when it grips in 4th. 122CFM at 0.450" and 10". Karl will explain this, and also explain the HP potential.

Christian, I don't use a Flymo (except to face them with). I port using a Golf club and cold chisel. Didn't hurt Sunny's, Paul J's, Keith Taylors, My car, Paul Roberts, Sid's.....

Ref the comments I made about your car - Yep you got me - I laughed when it blew up, and laughed even more when Christian said 'it could have been one of many things' - That's a great advert for a tuner!

Ref your orig enquiry - As you don't know a thing about cylinder heads, may I suggest you approach a race engine firm (not those in PF & FF mag, like myself), but a specialist like Rick Wood, Neil Cunliffe, Jim Garrard, Andy Weston, Dave Smith, Nick Waples. Or you could buy Christian one of those kits from Demon Tweeks.

Just remember, If you don't know any better, don't spend your money with them. You were very lucky I gave a full refund without argument. Most wouldn't even offer!!

Right, Tht's my post for this year, see you all in 2006!
