Head Work...
Head Gaskets gone on my VTS, so it's off to the engineers tommorrow.
Whilst it's there i was thinking about getting some work done on it, such as bigger valves, port & polish etc... just wondered what kind of stuff you think i should get done, and roughly how much i would be looking at it to cost?
thanks in advance

While it's there? What engineers is this? If they do all the work themselves, then fair play, but do they? The bigger valves will be an issue, as you need the 'bigger valves' LOL. I think there a 3 pretty well known cylinder head specialist (specialise in Pug / Cit) Hiflowheads, QEP and GMC.

Just wanting headwork done, as i've heard it's always worth doing, but as I have bugger all knowledge about this sort of stuff, i need some ideas and suggestions on what to get
