We have hotels in england, but no legal brothels, so you can always make a weekend of it, even it if wont be as much fun as staying at home

Im visiting the Ford Fair every year and since thats near Northampton (silverstone), Jamsport seems to be the best choice !


They already send me an email that they can do an exchange in 1 day:

Thank you for your interest in Jamsport.

We have 1.6 engines and 1.9 engines on the shelf.

This allows us to supply and fit in a day.

Drop car at 8am and the car will be ready to roll out for 6pm that same night.

With notice we are able to replace the rods with steel ones too at an additional cost ready for the swap.

If you have any questions then please contact me.

Regards,

Jamsport Dan.

Specialised Engines in Grays, Essex do one-day exchanges I think. They're nice chaps too. www.specialisedengines.co.uk if you're interested.

yeah well, if you search for the words 'specialised' and 'engines' you get a lot of user comments that really makes you scarred about them. I was planning to visit them, but no way after reading those things...

DONT go to Jam sport, heard bad stories from 2 people i know well

Including them swapping my mates 15000 mile old head for a head from a car made over 4 1/2 years earlier, then lied about it, then later admitted it and made excuse after excuse.

Jacked the car up on the front cross member, causing damage to it

Scratched his bonnet, then denied it was them, although it was perfect before they touched it.

Also many, cross threaded/loose/missing bolts in the engine bay
