There shit, might aswell build the engine yourself. They built my 1.6 crossflow ,it was fucked after 1200 miles and they put it down to me not running it in properly 
Also they said the engine would cost Ł750, it ended up costing me Ł1450
NOBS

From their site -
"COWBOY FIRMS
Sadly they are not very obvious, as they dont all wear Stetsons and Six-guns or call you Pardner!
Herewith are some tips on how to avoid them :
1. Join a car owners club , most of them will be able to give opinions on good and bad companies (see our listings)"

My car is an everyday runner and the 1st head was cracked between the bores, 2nd head was for an N/A CVH and the 3rd head i had to get machined as it wasnt perfect.

Did anyone read in Fast ford that Mr Fudge had his head done there then in a later issue he sent it off to someone else to do the work on it
When S/E did it Dan put a pic of it in the mag and it looked like it had just been cleaned up.

Even tho they seem'd nice on the phone,
