Peter Burgess cylinderhead mod
Discussion
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.
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 ..
