Good, you've made my day... thanks!!
As Greg (my other half) said before, we're in need of a working head. So really, what's the best thing to do? Get a new head now while they are still available or try to have ours reconditioned?....
Because from what I understand, there is no way once the head has been skimmed to actually get it back to absolute "normal" like it was when new, whichever solution is chosen. I guess that would alsomean the car would need to be remapped then to compensate for the "loss of squish"...
How would that affect the performance and reliability (or lack of...
) of the car?
