Title: Recomendations for recon Vauxhall cylinder head in / near Kent?
Post by: thai-wronghorse on 08 January 2012, 20:23

As the title suggests, a mate of mine is in need of a new  / reconditioned cylinder head for his late Vauxhall Corsa after the timing belt slipped a few teeth resulting in bent valves etc etc.
He's looking to buy or part-exchange another but hasn't a clue where to find a reputably supplied one?

Can he not repair his one or get one from a scrap yard?

He's not mechanically minded whatsoever and is just trying to obtain the parts needed cheaply to pass over to his local mechanic.
I doubt his would be the same as yours, Luke. I think his is a 1.6 sxi and quite a bit newer.
