Well as some may know if you've followed my build thread I've got a poorly V8.. I need a couple of 1uz heads skimming and pressure testing. I've just had a price from Stanwoods (who we use for work but I don't normally pay the bill) of £206+vat for the pair of heads.. Firstly I'm not sure what I was expecting. It's a long long time since I've paid an engine builder anything.. does that sound reasonable? Secondly any other recommendations of someone in South Yorkshire area who could pressure check and skim if needed. (Who we trust and may not be 250 quid by time I've done).. Thanks in advance. Pic of the carnage I found in the water ways for attention haha

price doesnt seeem far off, I paid around £130 about 4 years ago for a light skim and cut 16 valve seats and valves, no pressure test though.
I think skim was 36+vat and a pressure test around 40+

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

Aye send me a message and I'll see what I can sort. That's crazy money though we'd be a lot cheaper than that even over the counter
