Ive heard a LOT of stuff regarding anything TVR related and thats a new one to me.

Anyhoo, decision made. Heads are boxed up ready to be delivered to Dave Knight engines for a full refurb and maybe a little extra. Looking forward to a few more ponies already. 340+ from my 4.6 would be nice.

Dave Knight just re cut my seats and valves. An absoloutely spot on job I must say. He re cuts and re grinds etc and then vacuum tests the seal.

I did a leak down test when i got the heads back on and they were tight as a drum

Seems the accepted way of doing things by the good guys Julian Godfrey engineering did 4 heads this way for me inc setting the valve heights square

Derek I reckon you did the right thing there long term
