block pressure testing

I've stripped down my 4.6 rv8 for a clean and inspection, the liners look ok but i'd like the block pressure tested before re assembly ( just in case) so... does any one know / recommend anyone in the west midlands that could do this for me? thanks

You could try Chesman Motorsport.

Thanks for the tip Chris, i've phoned them today and they can test it for £60 so that sounds reasonable, thanks again I was'nt having any luck finding a place! What would be the best way to clean the block before taking it in do you think?

Jizer, a hand-sprayer, a paintbrush and a cement mixing tray!
Or a dishwasher, but that makes the bores go rusty instantly.

Most engine places will give it a hot wash in a proper machine for not too much money.
