Cylinder Head Work - Scotland

PostPost by: EwanG » Mon Jul 03, 2023 2:39 pm

Does anyone have any recommendations for a trustworthy engine place in central Scotland for initial testing and skimming of Lotus Twin Cam Cylinder head? I guess depending on further discovery, I may need them to do more so I am keen to find the right place to start with who has some experience of the Lotus nuances! I'm based in Peebles, just south of Edinburgh but happy to travel a bit for the right results!

Probably not that local for you but Agra Engineering in Dundee have extensive experience of the Lotus TC.

McKean engineering in Dumfries also have a good reputation in general classic engine work.

Thanks Jon - both within 2hrs so very doable!

How's your restoration going? Last time we spoke you were about 75%...

Did you use Agra in the end? Looking for a rebuild on my twin cam and they are closest builders to me
