Folks,
Just a quick question, an unleaded head for a moggie is just basically the orignal head with hardened values.
Am I right or wrong.
Cheers,
George

is there much work involved, there is specialists around over here but would it might be just cheaper to buy one and ship it over.
Can someone let me know exactly the work required.
Cheers,
George

If you don't like the idea of additive (which lets face it few of us do) a stopgap is the "Valvesaver" which adds additive constantly to the valves. It works on the vacuum in the inlet manifold to "suck" the additive out of a bottle and feed it in.g_land wrote:is there much work involved, there is specialists around over here but would it might be just cheaper to buy one and ship it over.

Hello George,
it is a straight forward machining job for any engine re-conditioner, so you should be able to get it done locally. However, unless you head is badly worn, there is no need to have it modified. You may get many miles just using unleaded petrol without an additive. If you find the valve clearances are closing up but the car is running fine keep on going. You may like to find a second hand head when that happens and have that modified and keep as a spare until the time the original head gets too bad.
