A YB is to important a engine to limit yourself to a local distance to get right. You should be looking at quality and experience rather than a 30minute drive lol.

This is totally true. At work our driver travels all over the country for specialist services.

Also it's best to go with a company WHO has actually done the work on these engines...

DO IT ONCE DO IT RIGHT.......

It will cost you more if you don't.

traveling is not a problem I’ve not said it must be local
i agree as in my first post I want someone who knows the Cosworth engine inside out

i know machine shops about 30 second walk from my work
but would I give them the Cosworth engine
NOT A CHANCE
