so it needs head work?

Non the less ive delt on more than 1 occasian now with a crowd i highly reccomend.

For ya head Ed Mikere from Takanini cylinder head specalists, For cams Aidrian from Franklin cams, And bottom end work Wayne from North Shore engine reconditoners.

2nd engine im building now, nothing but great service and a price im happy with.
