thanks for the replies regaring compression. not sure if i am going to go down the harrop build route; although it seems best to go for the lowered comopression route as i may as well upgrade the pistons and it will then be at least a bit more futire proffed if i do decided to convert later on :) valves i will leave as standard then while at the 300 mark. -it does amaze me how expensive they are for such little components.

I think all the items are ready to go, PM Karo with delivery location, method of delivery, method of payment, and he will confirm the full price to pay.

My parts took 4 days to arrive via UPS (including 8 hours sat in Birmingham Airpot).

Is bank transfer the normal way to pay on these? I usually pay by visa for the extra insurance it gives and bank transfer makes me a little nervous when I'm dealing with someone I've never bought from before.

I can't take visa or master card over the phone / internet, as our merchent company does not allow cards from outside usa/canada.

You can pay via Pay Pal if you wish, so long as you can help cover the fees they charge us and your account is verified and confirmed by pay pal.

Or you can ask all the others who have paid via bank wire and have never had any issues in the past before.

Anymore questions please feel free to ask.

By the way, we will be closed Sept 3 - Sept 14th so no items will ship during that time.
