Preices vary but you can get a head from a ton or so.
I'll do a better head than hillpower would for less cash.
If the heads done right retainign standard valve sizes then 10% across the rev range minimum. bigger valves give a few percent more.
The best head is the megane head but its involved, a williams is the same casting but with bigger valves. |

news update.
the engine wasn't a willy 2.0 but a megan 2.0 16v.
the guy said you can put the bottom end of the megan with the valver head?
any ideas?
P.s engine has 46,000 miles and came out of a 1999 model |

£400 for the botom end and 350 for the gear box
or as I said before £950 + Vat for the lot.
Very expensive for what you get. |

I wouldn't say so.
Are you really willing to spend a grand for 13bhp?
For a grand you could get the 1.8 to put out more than that. |
Don't forget you also get the stronger JC5 gearbox and with like for like modifications wont the Williams put out more than the Valver? |
