[Beetlebug_2001 0]

Have a 1.8 16v and was thinking of getting the head reconditioned as ive heard it needs doin after 100k, and mines done 120k, runs sweet as a nut but like to make sure that engines gonna hold together when my right foot suddenly gets heavier, what kinda prices am i looking at for it to be reconditioned? where can i get it done? how long will the head be away for? and finally has anyone opted to have some magic worked on there head to make there C faster?

Best bet round M'bro is "Teesside motor factors" just down from the railway station. Had a lot of work done there in the past and they are good. They have a rolloing road if you fancy seeing before and after mod gains. Will quote you a price over the phone, will prob need head skimmed, valves re-cut, possible guides, dont know if they do any porting, as i've done my own in the past.

 

That £4.95, sounds like just the start :)
