Hi guys. We know the benefits of cylinder head work. Can it give a good increase in power?

then just a good polishing (and take 1 mm of material per side) does not make much difference in an engine of about 300-350hp??

doing the work yourself can be a bad idea if the meat taken out isn't the same across all 5 otherwise you will have different flow rates between the cylinders etc etc. I saw some early flow work on coupe engines a few years ago that people had paid good money for and it was shocking, i always have the heads check to what flow before fitting
