OK im going to be starting my rebuild shortly and am looking for just over the 400 BHP mark between 400- 430 let say. Question is for this power level is long studding the block recommended? I have an original 200 block if that makes any odds

Also whats the cost of having this done?

 

It costs less than replacing two head gaskets, so in my eyes it's worth doing!

 

Thanks Pasjo good point, anyone else have any experiance thoughts?

 

p mason engineering in maldon, essex. they used to do mountunes ones when they first came up with the idea

i'm sure mine cost around £240 including machining and the studs, nuts, washers and o-rings themselves

well worth doing

 

Its a good bit of insurance IMHO, but at the same time I firmly believe its NOT actually "required" at that level of tune.

As above, peter mason engineering are the kiddies.

 

thanks guys i will give them a ring when the time is right
