Can anyone recommend anyone in the Essex area or South East.
Would like to get my X-bolted block checked cracks etc.
Plus have new cam bearings fitted.
And have my flywheel lightened.
Thanks
Leigh

suprized I've had no responce to this,

I use only Thurstons, even if it is an 80 mile round trip.

I use Automotive Services in Northampton. Probably too far.
I've heard of Ivor Searle in Soham, but I can't remember if it was good or bad....
