So finished my awesome cusotm grill and it looks sweet but no pics yet sorry.

Got home today and there is a whining noise which was the inlet manifold to carb gasket, so i fixed that.

Hi,

Great looking mini!

Just noticed that you are looking for a stage 3 head and roller rockers?

I have two heads that I am going to be putting up for sale shortly.
I have a Morspeed Stage 4 "trackday" head with 35.7 inlet and 31.2 exhaust race valves, fully ported and pollished with double valve springs.

I also have another head with 37.7 inlet and 30.2 exhaust with road valves, fully ported and pollished (even bigger than the MSPD head). I don't know who did the work to this head as there are no markings on it, but it looks stage 4/5 as it also has bronze valve guides and double valve springs.

PM me if you are interested as I dont want to hijack your thread lol
They will be going in the forsale section when I get round to taking pictures.

Hope this helps.
