Not Midlands, but very good.

Could try SEP at Kegworth who are also very good at what they do.

Pauljac, I was interested in your term "Reamed valve guides".
Correct me if I'm wrong. I thought all inserts were pressed in then reamed to be concentric with the valve seat.
I do know it's not often we can press an insert in without the final ream.
Maybe there is a method that a reamer is used with a mandril set up on the seat to ensure concentricity.
