Hi there,
Spose the time has come to get my AIG and sort out my MK5’s heavy smoking. Anyone got advice on places that do head refurbs. I know it could be the rings but at 70K miles I’ve read the big valve heads would benefit from a good dose of looking at.
Priestly Engineering, (Newton Aycliffe),
70k is good going , stripped my heavy smoker last winter, guides were knackered, exhaust valves also done, exhaust valve seats receding (30k ish) bores and pistons all Good.
Reused the inlet valves, new guides, new exhaust valves and hardened seats ,
Normal service has been resumed
Hi Phil,
Thanks for the tip. They’re only an hour up the A1 too so very handy. All I need now is a shot of enthusiasm and whip the heads off.
An old workmate though had me marked as someone who would never get round to dying.
