Not sure on the head skim etc, but if you pop into your local factors, i think its Mill auto parts down your way, they may be able to tell you, or be able to contact a "friendly" garage who can advise on who they use. Or try Federation of engine remanufacturers for any local members who can help .... Federation of Engine Re-manufacturers hope the link helps..

Thanks mate.The mill autos is a bust cos they dont acknowledge the existence of vehicles over 5 years old and not a boy racer machine....old Ray might give a straight answer....might ! But respect for your knowledge of bodmin from over in benfleet! How come?
That Federation link is a good one,probably worth a sticky,if the mods are up for it.Im going to try them.
Thanks mate!!!

Cornwall Engine Co at Redruth have quoted me £28 pressure test and £30 skim plus vat,head presented stripped.....if anyone was wondering.Does that sound reasonable?John Inch at plymouth want 40 pressure test and 35 skim....very nice reply though!
Both through British Federation

Prices are about right. Lap the valves and replace the stem seals whilst the head is off.
