Default polish & porting & Cams ADVICE....

Wheres the best yorkshire based place for polish and porting a 4x4 head? What cost is expected?

Also, what cams do you recommend for a comfy 420ish bhp?


All help appreciated

it doesnt work that way,you have to decide what power you want to run,then spec the whole engine to get what you want. just bolting bits on is a compromise.
headwork give karl at nms a ring, you wont find better.

You don't need any porting for 420bhp, but thats about the heads limit

As Gary said I don't think it's absolutely essential at that power Karl, maybe just a nice polish would suit it better?

Can Paul (North Yorks) not point you in the right direction?
