Can't go wrong with Neil at Slowboy.
Built my forged 2.5 when my SpecD had ring land failure, very good price and great quality.

It's been in 'failure' for last 9 months - no major signs but a little oil in coolant, etc. I haven't enjoyed driving the bloody thing out of fear of HG going but then kept getting told it could have been replaced before I bought it and would still show some oil in coolant, etc. Gues I have been in part denial too! Got bored of reading the threads on here but that's exactly my story too.
