And this is the ebay pic, of the Metro head, if anyone is interested.

PS: don't confuse me with someone who knows what he's doing. :) Keep those
suggestions coming.
One other thing that I did, was purchase a new MG Metro head on ebay. A bit
of a mistake. My ported/polished/etc head was cracked and my request had
been to weld it. Engine builder mentions ( like 2 years later ) that he'd
rather start from a good core than to do that, but he'll fix mine as a last
resort and I reluctantly say 'okay' and suddenly I'm at the front of the
line. It must have been a sore point with him? The MG Metro head 'looks'
like the MG Turbo head in Vizard's book, and I bought it somewhat blind,
then I get a reply from David Anton that it is a good head, but somewhat
thin walled and not suited to 'radical' porting. So, here I sit, wondering,
as the head is in the mail to me, what the definition of radical porting is
compared to what I want. The vendor of the head says he's sold a few to
some UK mini racer, who's name sounded familiar but escapes me now, who
likes them. ( Now I wonder: Why a few? And I wonder if I should be looking
into local cores i!
nstead. What is the meaning of life? )
