Valve seats refaced

I am not that clued up on engines and I am wanting to turbo the engine is there anywhere in the north east UK that could do the work for me

Also what parts would I need to get

Cheers for any help

the main thing is to get the compression ratio down, you can get the head taken out a bit, biut there is a limit ispecially if its been skimmed to get that 10:1 figure.

the other usual weak point are pistons, but from the spec i think it should have decent ones in there already



turbophil is up kendal way and does good head work. he may be able to get the chambers out to what is needed
