Twincam rebuilders

PostPost by: seaandmoor » Sun Aug 04, 2024 6:11 pm

Evening all. I visit here from time to time for a read but post infrequently.

I think majority of engine builders can deal with the most of it but perhaps not so good for the head.
Are there any suggestions for good twincam builders in the southwest sector of the UK please?

Thank you as always.

I’m guessing he still does the work here but Nick Stagg in the Bristol area knows a twin cam better than most.

I'm sure that I've seen something recently that Nick has retired, unfortunately.

Not sure how far down in the south west you are but there is Mark Shillaber in Launceston who knows how to work these heads, He builds many different competition engines and has acheived some good results. He also has a rolling road to set up as well as a test house for the engines and is not over the top with prices, a genuinely nice guy too. Details below,

Launceston is close to me so I'll arrange to share a cuppa and listen to what they have to say.

Thanks again.
