they are not modified as such they are better made and can be ordered with bigger ports so probably work out cheaper than buying a used head then having it modified

go direct to the source, rik wood in stockport supplies them in any spec you want, he has millions of pounds worth of cnc machinery to make a perfect copy and better.
his heads are on ebay i think.
burton probably source them from him anyway and at a fraction at what they charge................ jesus
