| nope, he has a phone number though, lol! He is a long way from u, but if you were to go ahead with him, im sure we could arrange a meet / postage for a head, and any work carried out by him. I dont mind helping out, or organising stuff if i gotta mate! Chris fully rebuilt my VR6 engine, ported the head, re bored block, re ground crank etc, and my god is it amazing. Was overtaking 240bhp civic Type R;s on the last track day - out of sheer power gain, not out drving. Was on a straight, out of corner - GOODBYE CIVIC, LOL!!! And he has also just done a full port and polish, rebuild, new valves, guides, etc on my G40 head, he's an amazing bloke, and very good at what he does!!! Here's a few pics of his handywork:- G40 head :-   And the vr6 engine     _________________ The Distance Between Insanity And Genius Is Measured Only By Success.....
