    Hi all,

    I have a cylinder head from an international I'd like to get tested for cracks, valves checked and maybe a skim. Roughly how much will this cost?

    Any recommendations of companies that do this?

    Corcorans in Castlebar Co. Mayo used to do this and were renowned for their workmanship.

    Cheers,

    Got a few quotes and they were cheaper than loftus farrell and seem to know what they are talking about. May end up going with them.
