TSR obviously worth considering or go a bit custom and go to Northallerton Engineering but... apparently one of their good guys left to set up on his on on the trading estate there. Apparently pretty damn awesome all lasered and sh!t. If you want i could get you some details so you can have a chat see if he can help with something particularly trick?

Very overpriced! Especially since its basicly a ported head which will cost about £300 to get done.

I thought that but it does come with extra gubbins like cams and lifters, still pricey though! For just the porting and valve seats northallerton engineering quoted me £200.

The new guy (ex N.E.) who was reccomended to me also in northallerton on standard way industrial estate is CAS Engineering on 01609 772421.  Now i havn't talked to them or used them so i would be interested to know how you get on.

Right. Seemed a nice guy and knew his stuff. He said that with a mild cam there is no need to port the head. He said it could even reduce performance slightly. He recomended to clean up the head (take off casting marks) and pollish it up then angle the valves. Then lighten all the bottom end.
