the cylinder heads on that website are made by cosworth themselves. that website just sells them so yes they should be at least as good as the originals

Recast? What does that mean? These are new castings. No doubt better material properties than original 25 year old items.


G&W are afaik doing the castings for the Diamond series (Millington) as well as Jenvey-products.

You would think they would have optimised ports now and as good as any ported head?

The Alloy would be at least as good as the last of the line YBP/T engines was, I know the material was up-speced progressively from early YBB to late YBB/YBG/J by Cosworth.
You could always ask, if you're thinking of spending nearly £3k on a cylinder head.
