If you are good enough to remove/refit the head on a vr then why not rebuild it yourself?  :wink:

because as far as i understand the lifters are pressed in to the head,thus making it not a diy job, and if i pay sum1 else to do it, if it f00ks up, then i get a claim in...... :wink:

The only thing pressed into the head are the guides, these probably won't need replacing.
Remove/refit of the head is a hard job in itself.
