Can anyone recommend anyone in the Essex area or South East.

Would like to get my X-bolted block checked cracks etc.

Plus have new cam bearings fitted.

And have my flywheel lightened.

Thanks
Leigh

suprized I've had no responce to this,

I'm sure you all don't do 100% of the work yourself.

I use only Thurstons, even if it is an 80 mile round trip.

I use Automotive Services in Northampton. Probably too far.

I've heard of Ivor Searle in Soham, but I can't remember if it was good or bad....
