Unleaded heads
Hi all,
im new to the forum and to the UK, I’ve been here now about 8 months. I will soon be bringing over my MK 1 Escort. The only problem I’m foreseeing is that I have not changed my head over for unleaded fuel yet. Please can you offer me some advice on where I might get it done and how much it will cost. I’m based in St Albans.
Blessings

Re: Unleaded heads
you dont say what engine. personally just keep an eye on the tappet clearances and worry about having it converted when and if you have a problem, it can take a lot of mileage to flush out accumulated lead deposits and costs no more to convert a head which has suffered valve recession than one that hasnt. either way its got cheaper, you lookig about £100 for hardened exhaust seats, but usually you end up needing guide repairs and work on the inlet side too, so the cost may rise a fair bit
