Can any one recommend somebody that can do a good job for a
Good price near by.

If you are running the standard pistons on your Hawkeye,then it would be prudent for whoever is doing the head gaskets to pull the pistons out while the heads are off and check for ringland damage especially on No.2 + 4 pistons.
A set of 11mm ARP or Cosworth headstuds will be wise addition to the engine too.

Hi James

Speak to Neil@Slowboy racing,he is located near Brands Hatch and really I would speak with him what will be best option

But as above Mick@merlin24 said pull engine out and check for damages and if its budget get forged pistons,rods,ACL bearings,Cosworth headgasket and 11mm ARP headstuds

Thanks guys. Thanks for replys. It's only very early signs of head gasket so hopefully no damage else where. No sights really other then a small amount of oil on rad cap followed buy a sniff test
