   Right now guys, take a look at this i have seen it on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123 it doesnt sound genuine to me. he told me that its not gone on his vts because his is a 1998 model and the head is off a 2000 model. the heads are the same arnt they?

   will fit any vts the only thing is that u will have to do is block up the EGR valve hole in the side of the head which is done easly. Find out where he had the work done before u bid

   Q: hi mate where was the head ported and polished? do you have receipts for it? A: the reason it didnt fit my car is my vts is 1998 which hasnt got a air pump and this head is a 2000 reg with 32,000 miles on it but it been re-built so the millage is 0,000 now. and i also have proof of the head work

   didnt answer the question lol. id leave it alone unless u proves the work done..

   Avoid!
   
   Any "ported" head that they can not say it was done by what reputable tuner that is known for TU engine tuning and they have the paperwork to prove it I would absolutely AVOID!
   
   Even if they claim paperwork I would avoid getting a used head unless you really know what your looking at and or (and is best) you really know and trust the person you are getting it from.
   
   Though I would recommend you send your head to Longman or GMC and get them to port it for you. At least you know what your getting then. I also hear good things about QEP though I have only ever got parts from them so cant comment on there heads.
