Karl Norris is the man.But dont expect it to be done quickly as he is very busy and very meticulous about his heads.(40 hrs on one alone i believe.)

The decent flow rate of a standard cossie head is around the 360 bhp mark.

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks recommending myself. It is much appreciated!!

However at the momment I have 3 YB heads, 1 pinto and 2 cvh heads to port before I can take on anyone elses, so you're looking at around a 4 months wait before I can even start! If you're prepared to wait that long give me a shout!

yes he does, but you can just send it out to him. I always picture him sitting on a beach in a big silly hat with a wicker Donkey, a San miguel in one hand and a Dremel in the other

Personally I'd use Karl though... oh thats right I did

Dave,

It's not as simple as that. You need to tell me exactly what work you require and to what spec and of course the condition of the head is very important as I may need to weld the head if corrosion is present. In addition you will need new quides fitted and have the option of new valves and various choices of valve spring.

If you're serious enough though, send me an email to my nms addy and we can discuss it further. Thanks,
