    I know a few good places who are. Why not have a go yourself? It's an easy enough job

    it takes a little while but it's straight forward if you know what you're doing + have the tools. Here's this guy doing a 106, which is more or less the same engine anyway.

    Its best to get a skim when hg is changed, as it cleans up the face of the head!

    always skim, you want all that crap removed, otherwise you may get an early HG failure again
