Need to get a cylinder head checked, cleaned, and new valve guides pressed in, can anyone recommend someone they've used in the Bristol/Newport area? I'm not after any fancy performance work - this is for the daily smoker.

Country Engineering at Thornbury have done very good and thorough work for me in the past.

Went to Ashley Engineering in the end. Pretty quick turnaround for stripdown, clean, new valves, guides and seals. Probably not the cheapest out there, but they supplied a head gasket set as well for the money.

Friendly and approachable staff, happy to offer advice, can't comment on the quality of work right now, but it doesn't look shabby. Proof of the pudding is when I fit it and get it running again.
