Has anyone used Headshop in Warrington for rebore, crank grinding etc?

A few years ago they recut a couple of valve seats for me on a K-Series VHPD head and didn’t even charge me, but at the time I got the impression they were mainly providing work for classic Aston Martins and Jaguars. I now notice that amongst others they have a Mini crank showing on their website so maybe they’ve expanded their work a little.

I’m still stripping my 1275 but I’m half expecting to need a rebore and crank grind, plus I’d like to balance the rotating bits. Any other recommendations for work in the Chester - Warrington area?

I went to have a chat with Lane Ends Engineering, Prescot. They haven't done anything for me yet, but they know their stuff and have an old school workshop.

I’ve not used Headshop for any of your requirements, but I’ve had a mini cylinder head which was cracked, repaired by them and found them very reasonable and the head worked perfectly without fault.

 

Micro Precision Engineering , Holly Bush Lane, just off the A57. Do what they say, but not cheap! Plus a very interesting location….

Thanks for the further recommendations. Years ago I knew a farmer down Holly Bush Lane, I didn’t think there was anything else there other than farms!
