Peter Burgess cylinderhead mod

[Robert Lees]

After much deliberating decided to stick with b series engine and just get the most out of it, ordered Kent 717 cam , having Weber 45 carb rebuilt and looking to get cylinder head modified to big valve by Peter Burgess in Derbyshire, but cannot get reply from email or phone?? Anyone used recently, website up to date so assume still operating, will keep trying burnt wondered if any one else having trouble contacting.

All sorted, got through at lunch obviously busy, which is always a good sign!

Had a good chat today, just got to get the head off now! Been sat on the engine for 10 years i don't think it will come quietly ! hoping with Kent cam, weber 45 and Peters cylinder head it may make 130-140 BHP, when finances permit maybe a full tubular manifold and sports exhaust to finish it off. Not a power freek but after virtually nut and bolt rebuild 85 BHP seems a bit of a let down.

Got the head off last weekend , without too much sweat, (compressor and impact wrench helped!) looks ok to a complete novice. Will take to Peter Monday . Got cam and updated followers and pushrods. Waiting on carb. Just to decide what colour to spray car now. Was blue back in 1972! But my tvr is dark blue ..

Saw one a while ago in trophy blue, mgzs zt colour I think. looked really good with the chrome and minilites.

found this, trophy blue, looks nice, but now not so sure,? not "special" enough, funny you mention Wedgewood blue, I wondered about a baby blue ? trying to find an image.

i'm liking the powder blue, very classic, also keeps the V5 as blue , the only thing is I bought full carpet set and seat covers with red piping ? not sure it will go as initially intended a red re-spray.
