Looks good...hopefully it'll perform as well as it looks!! It's in good condition going by the pics, plenty of meat!

I think i'd have told them to not bother spraying it silver though (that's if it has been sprayed, which it certainly looks like in the pics.)

They said it could handle 500bhp comfortably
because this head was enough for what u needed and it hadnt been skimmed before!

A friend of mine had an engine fully re-built by them, its not even done running in miles, and its back in bits again- with numerous problems....

They had 8 weeks and didnt sort it, so the car is else where hopefully having a proper Job done! The heads been inspected and the named company have ''bodged'' area's, but i dont know all the ins and outs.

Did you notice one of the exhaust valve heads has a diff size ring in the center of it, I would have change this to the same as the others.
