Just wondering if anyone else has had theirs done, and what it cost you. Need to compare quotes, see if my local specialist is doing a wool pulling manoevre (or however you spell maneuver).

I always reckon on about Ԛ£300 in parts and machining to take off a 325 head, test it, lightly skim it, sort out valves and guides and reassemble it.
Not including my labour.
