Alex Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Roughly how much does it cost to get a head ported and polished? Hourly rate of a trained engineer/company? How long would it take, hours, days, weeks??? Any idea's?????? Personally I haven't the foggiest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 That really depends on who does the work, you could get a monkey with a Dremil to do it for £200. But someone who knows what they are doing will want to match it to the cylinders and surrounding pipe work, so I would guess at least double. I have a contact who has offered to do mine, I could ask the question for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Davies Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Geez I thought to do this properly would be thousands not hundreds. If Phils guy can do a top job for £400 then i'm sold :biggrin: Mind you I guess I could save £375 and go buy a dremil and do it myself. Oh sorry and the £10 for the "Idiots guide to advanced engine head work". How much did that second hand engine cost ya Ian? Might be needing one :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 I assume that you are excluding taking the head off and putting it back on - about 10-15 hours work...... Alex, all these posts, Heads, Cams, Brakes - new job going well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 I am estimating, based on other head work he has done for me, based on time in his hands only, the rest, strip and rebuild is up to you. I am considering a long diy project on a spare head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
