I spoke to my mate tonight. He got a 1.6 BMW head skimmed, pressure tested and valves reground and it was just over £200 at Border Engines in Tweedmouth.

:5biagree: Was thinking the same. Having to strip down the heads to do valve seats and then reassemble, fair bit of work doing that. And time is money.

Wonder how much bitching there would be if the head was just skimed, and the a valve damaged a piston? Then this peep would be bitching about a proper job not being done:rolleyes:
 
more to the point... do you not think that this guy is going to want his other 100 notes?
 
I will check wot my mate paid, possibly not as much tbh. But keep in mind he is getting his crack tested as well.....

I'm sorry for bumping this old post but my dirty mind went haywire there. "Getting his crack tested* PMSL
