Bill Blisterine (spelling) he does all this kinda work probably be about £450 upwards
If ya look at powerzone for £600ish they will exchange ya head for a gas flowed one with cams fully rebuilt

spoke to bill blydenstein and he said hell do it for around £500. ive seen the powerzone ads but ive heard not to bother camming these engines unless you have got it chipped and inlet manifolt i.e mantzel or velos. i will be doing these mods but not yet. any 1 got any views on cams?
i will also need it on exchange as i neeeed my car on the road for my job.

Spend the money on an inlet manifold for much more power for your money.
I wouldn't even consider cams on one of these engines unless you have tb's.

you can gain upto 6-10bhp with a set of decent cams but they will need mapping, if your guna get inlet and chip anyway get a g/flowed head and cams all in one, itll save you cash and time

If your spending all that in one go get some throttle bodies, a engine conversion or a faster car.
