Phil Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Ps as per my pm I'll just throw this up on the public domain so as to be as transparent as possible.Having had Busseys parcel go missing with Royal Mail I'm not currently selling by paypal as paypal are still sorting that out!So bank transfer only and it will be sent by a trusted courier for 20pounds to be certain it gets there safely.Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jezza Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Whitegt will have one soon as he's repacing the full engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Sorry to hijack.Whats involved in swapping over all the parts from one head to another? I've breifly read about reshimming etc.. Is it a easy and fairly cheap job to do? The orginal 8mm studs rounded my head so had to tap to a 12mm bolt. Now with certain turbo kits the manifold gets in the way of doing the bolt up. Looking to swap the head while engines out unless theres another solution Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jezza Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Something like this might do the trick http://www.memfast.co.uk/shop/vclose1.asp?prd=31738&cat=2250005134 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jezza Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Maybe add a standard m-8 stud so you are back to 6 instead of using a random bolt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thats my plan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Threaded inserts are amazing I've used them on spark plug holes, gearbox mount holes and more, never had a issue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
