Hey everyone,

In this week's episode of the M20B25 engine restoration, I take the block and head to an engine specialist close to my house in Spain, Rectidama. They gets the full treatment.

What a great company filled with great people.

Enjoy!

This is my back yard stuff Stevie, I can see why you choose these guy`s as they have the same approach and work ethic as you .
I am just lovin` all of this mate, and you can`t rush a job such as skimming a head, it would not be "right".

Only the E46 cab left now.

Interesting that they left cleaning out the head bolt threads in the block till last and used a tap for this risking swarf getting into the bores.

Should use a thread chaser and do it well before re assembly.
