Thanks for the input guys and the honest info from various people on and off here. Seems hardly anywhere holds stock of a fully recon head anymore. None of the local factors can get one unless we remove te head and give them all the casting numbers to give to a company to make one from scratch! Someway costly.
We have been recommended to another guy who builds dragster engines in his spare time and has all the machines for what we need done. He's meant to be reliable cheap and do excellent work so will see what he says about doing our customers head.
If not we'll be going back to Modus Engineering where I have had hundreds of heads and blocks done in the past however they are expensive. But as I Said their work is second to none. This is a pic of my own head a couple of years ago as it arrived.
Every head comes back looking like it just came out the factory in a heat sealed clear plastic bag even with the main body of the head sprayed with silver high temp paint so it looks absolutely brand new
The customer of the one im about to do had the head gasket replaced on the car 2 years ago by another garage and they obviously re use the timing belt as its jumped a tooth, has a big lump of slack in, is perrished as fook and has split in 3 places around the edge. Nasty stuff! So we'll be sorting it properly for her.
