How do you recommend for some big valve work on type 1 heads in brisbane? Not going nuts, just want to open them up a bit.

i got some heads reco'd by Power Brake Auto i think they are called on newmarket road at windsor/wilston

i was happy with their work....

they were sensationally priced too ps.

BEN DURIE AUTOMOTIVE


send them to Ben, contact him via email thru his site.

freight by Aussie post- cheaper than you would ever think.

that's where my heads are getting the treatment right now.

peter liddle at sumner park is VERY VERY good if you are looking for quality look no further BUT when you get your heads done id strongly suggest you also supply inlet manifolds and headers for port matching :thumb

the guys to see in Qld without a doubt is Craig Brown @ Crankshaft Eng. in Bne. Craig has been modifying VW stuff for years, including Drags,speedway,offroad etc.

If you want to send them over the border then Stan Pobjoy or Peter Richards. These guys are building my engine. Pete is working my heads & manifolds over..!!


If you want contacts then let me Know.

Small cracks between the seats are OK and expected on twin ports.
