diy or garage?

A saturday in the garage could do it.

just trying to work out if its days worth DIY (maybe longer ) or getting a garage to do it for me costing labor ete

Depends on your garage facilities and your experience.

It's not rocket science but a bit daunting if you are only used to a bit of a service.

You're not too far away, if you want a look at one in bits, I am about to rebuild mine and you can see what's involved.

If you done one before you could do it in a evening, if not if take a good day for it

Or a weekend.
Being careful, cleaning parts, checking the cam timing 3 or 4 times, breaking something.

It all depends really.
How long is a piece of string?

See you at the strip.
I fear no-one. Ive raced many 1000bhp + and even beat a few by default.

You were talking a big cam in your old engine last time.
Finally made a decision on the way forward?

Ok i lie, its hardly going to be a large boost in bhp, i will email what is on order

Im going to go solid cam but my heads have been skimmed excessively so im not sure how much lift i can have

First thing im doing is ecu (prob megaskirt), injectors (if i can ever choose a set!) and wideband kit(aem?)

Then im moving on to pistons/cam etc
