mahatma Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Valves, springs, collets, caps, follower, cams, gasket kit, verniers, re-map. I bought one of these last year off Tom and I'm very pleased with it. Good VFM in my opinion. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkey kong Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 sorry to sound dumb(running for cover 😬),but what sort of cash would i be looking at for the above items..................

mahatma Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 In my opinion, the best option for doing this would be to have the head ported too, so to break the costs down a little; Valves - £300 new or from another head (scrap VVC head for example £75ish) springs - £90ish single Piper springs collets - not much or use existing from your head caps - not much or use existing from your head follower - linish existing ones cams - £300ish (Piper 285 would be a good start) gasket kit - £75 verniers - £140ish re-map - £300? Quick and dirty port - £250 You'd be wise to fit some forged pistons at this state of tune (£500 ish and new big end bearings ~ £50) although others leave the bottom end stock. It can be done much cheaper using reliable second hand parts to populate the head but the choice is yours. You've already got the bodies, ECU and exhaust ... this should see you on the right side of 200bhp for not a lot of money. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigYin Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Tom If you've got one left, could you put my name on it please? I'm not a million miles from Sunny Solihull, so collection should be simple. Silver SV SSR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dd1961 Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I'm just putting together one of these heads I bought from Tom last year, Dave Andrews did a quick port on it for me. The plan is to map it using a wideband lambda sensor and the MBE ECU I have........(so if anyone has a sensible base map for this (285h cams, roller barrel tb's, vhpd head, I'd appreciate a shout), so far it is proving an intersting project. I'll post some pictures when I get a few minutes! Oh, and cheers Tom, the head looks great! Photos of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7 SLR Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 A friend has a fantastic MBE/R400 map he paid about 500 quid for (2 rolling road sessions) with a head spec similar to yours (I think - although I'm not sure about your cams). He's not too keen on giving it away but if someone wanted to see his car go, its great road manners etc then offer him an incentive for a copy of his map... Let me know if interested.
