Go for a decent set of multi-valve compresssors. Machine Mart was where i went. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/pr...ing+compressor

Yeah about an hour for a straight swap but once the head is off you may as well lap the valves again. It's taken me nearly 2 hours to do a good job on lapping all the valves. Really satisfying once it's done! Go for a decent set of multi-valve compresssors. Machine Mart was where i went. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/pr...ing+compressor

I thought you only had to Lapp new valves and not the same ones as they are already bedded in?

I've also been told (but never tried it) that you can shim (2mm or 3mm washers IIRC) the stock valve springs to increase pressure a little, this could be another option for people wanting a medium power budget build.

I've not mate no, most of my builds seem to be either low budget low power which need nothing doing to the head or ST170/black-top based builds and so I use the springs from the ST170 head.

On a side note.. as you have done budget builds, i'm going to use the stock 1.8/2.0 manifold, rail, regulator, throttle body but FRS injectors. Would i encounter any running problems with this setup? I'm going to use a cossie brown IAT sensor on the boost pipe rather than the FRS elbow too.

Would you advise to install the ECU while the engine is in or out of the car?

Well my source was a girl that i was seeing for a bit.. so.. can't really go that route for you mate lol.
Although, you only need the shims for the inlet side technically, i did both sides because i had enough, but it really isn't important to have them on the exhaust. You could even leave the standard zetec springs in on that side if you wanted..
But anyway i think i have around 8 left over...

just a heads up, you actually want to pay more attention to the exhaust valves more than inlet. I have uprated singles with shims under the ex springs.
plus ian howels got the shims if you're after a set.

someone send me some shims and i will get them made up from a local who is great
made my caliper carrier spacers for 4x4 cossie brakes on a mk3 fiesta for £10
drilled and helicoiled my inlet for custom fuel rail and fitted it all up with everything £12
and made a custom charge carrier for my old s1 with swaged ends and sensor outlets for £40
hes brilliant, his company is called spot on throttle cables........
