Best place to rebuilt cylinder head?

    Need a cylinder head change and engine rebuild obviously.
    I will be using reconditionned cylinder heads (x2).
    I came across those fellas:
    http://www.reconditioned-engines.co.uk

    Anyone has some experience with them?

    They quoted me 1700 pounds+VAT for my V8. This includes two "new" cylinder heads.

    This is what will be done:
    Cylinder Head is stripped down and checked for wear, cracks and for trueness then pressure tested and refaced as necessary. Valve guides are then checked for wear and replaced as necessary After this valve seats are machined and valve guides are then checked for wear and replaced as necessary. New/Refaced valves are then lapped into the head then vacuum tested.

    From there we reface the valves and followers as necessary. The Camshaft is then checked for wear and replaced as necessary.

    The engine is then reassembled with new gaskets and seals.

    Cheers
