PS: don't confuse me with someone who knows what he's doing. :)
Keep those suggestions coming.
One other thing that I did, was purchase a new MG Metro head on ebay. A bit of
a mistake. My ported/polished/etc head was cracked and my request had been to
weld it. Engine builder mentions ( like 2 years later ) that he'd rather start
from a good core than to do that, but he'll fix mine as a last resort and I
reluctantly say 'okay' and suddenly I'm at the front of the line. It must have
been a sore point with him? The MG Metro head 'looks' like the MG Turbo head
in Vizard's book, and I bought it somewhat blind, then I get a reply from David
Anton that it is a good head, but somewhat thin walled and not suited to
'radical' porting. So, here I sit, wondering, as the head is in the mail to
me, what the definition of radical porting is compared to what I want. The
vendor of the head says he's sold a few to some UK mini racer, who's name
sounded familiar but escapes me now, who likes them. ( Now I wonder: Why a
few? And I wonder if I should be looking into local cores instead. What is
the meaning of life? )
