ok!
basically, i was bidding for it on ebay and was outbid, but have been offered another for ?100 inc. postage. i have been in contact with the winner of the first head and he said that it is mint and is all stamped up with wb and the number.
what gains am i going to see running standard injectio for the time being?

Depends whats been done to it for powergains, well worth ?100 tho.
im 90% sure thats the head i was looking at and i was told it was for a 1.3SR from the part number. was it advertised New old stock (NOS) from 1982?

Ive got a B pack for a GTE/GSi & it gave some pleasing results. Definately recommend it. Better pickup & smoother power delivery.
Mines for sale but not at ?100.

Which spec head is it? Any of them for ?100 is a bargain, but if its a B+ head you're laughing.

not sure of spec... only have the model number, and can't get in touch with bill as he has shifted all his work to another company. have emailed them but no reply. the head is brand new, and you couldn't even pick up a standard head for that money.
will get the head, and take it to uni and flow it and see what it's like.
looking for a fast road/rally cam if anyone has one. i have a uprated cam at the mo, but want to go full attack.

i did see that one a while back, but this is for a 1.6, and this was confirmed by the seller and the guy who won the previous head. the part number on it is: WB2354
if anyone know how to find out info about the head, it would be much appreciated!
cheers
which bench will you flow it on? i couldnt get that bastid big thing worked out depsite being the only one in the place that could use the 110
Ive got a B+ head for my SR but off a SRi, and i paid ?100 (well ?96) for it of ebay so Im quite interested in this thread now....

you gotta abuse what you can at uni... ah stu ;)
i'll use the new big one. there's loads of plynths wandering around. i find it really easy to use, although i never used the old one. going to be using it loads to desing my camless zetec head :cool: for my final year :tard: i might fit the blydenstein head and then clean up my head and flow that for a comparison.
i'm definately going to get the head...! will have to do a follow up as regards the flow data and any gains once fitted, wont be until oct.nov time i'm affraid. don't get much time and don't want to change the heads on my own at home, i'll forget to do something :D
ahhh electro pnumatic valve train ;)

if you would be willing to help fit, that would be great, and tbh i'm in no real rush... the car runs fine witht he head thats on it, and the head gasket is fine. i go back to uni at the end of september, so anytime that your free would and willing would be gladly appreciated.
will get the head and all parts and store them ready.
belt, gaskets, bolts, studs and nuts. is there anything else i need?
cheers stu :)
