Great video Phil, about time someone made an up to date Cylinder Head modification video for the enthusiast :-) Looking forward to part two.

[@TurboMinicom]

Bill Harvey thanks, I appreciate the positive feedback.

[@Sternhammer89]

@@TurboMinicom Just wish I could afford one of your heads :-)

[@TD16V]

Nice Vid Phil! A few more close-ups would be champion for those who aren’t massively familiar with the stuff 👍

[@TurboMinicom]

Cheers. I’ll bear that in mind for future stuff.

Hello, I have seen that you have a homemade flow bench, could you tell me how you have done it, or if you have any video? I've been looking at your videos but haven't seen it. Greetings.

[@TurboMinicom]

Hi. Its a PTS bench, if you search Google you'll find the company that makes the parts.

[@goyocarreras]

@@TurboMinicom ok, thanks

[@TurboMinicom]

@@goyocarreras no problem.

[@adee-H1066]

Just found you on here,nice video👍.quick question,I'm going to be building a 850 engine for a 69 wolseley hornet,but I think it has a morris minor head currently fitted.I've read various Google pages and it seems the 850 and 1000cc mini heads are the same,is this correct? Looking forward to going through the rest of your videos.👍👍

[@TurboMinicom]

Hi. Yes the head's are essentially the same, including valve sizes. Though the 850 heads had a slightly smaller chamber volume than the 998 castings.

[@rhyslister2754]

Is this something worth doing on a small bore unit?

[@TurboMinicom]

Yes definitely.

[@rhyslister2754]

Turbo-Mini.com I’ve sent a message over your website :)

[@Sternhammer89]

Come on Phil - stop doing peoples cylinder heads and get them head modding videos made!!! Only joking mate - but would be nice as there are none around to speak of and no up to date guides either. Just about to start on my first head, although have an old 12G940 on the way to practice :-) Keep up the great work.

[@TurboMinicom]

Bill Harvey no worries mate. I’ll hopefully have part 2 coming in the next couple of weeks.

[@TurboMiniTV]

Thanks for the shout out! Excellent video as always :-)

[@TurboMinicom]

No worries mate.
