Subject: Re: Cylinder heads
Sorry I have no personal experience with alperform heads, still waiting for my 3litre engine to have its test run after rebuilt. The workshop I gave it to (Touring Garage in Troisdorf, Germany, Mr. Bazille) is extremely slow. Engine head was uncracked, block was cracked, they had it laser welded, I will report on the success hopefully later..
If I would have an engine to be repaired again Tim Stamper might be a good address. Did you ask him on the cylinder heads?
The Aston Martin forum (amoc.org) is also good for discussion for us for the engine part, because there are more DB2 and 2/4 Astons than respective Lagondas around and it seems they are more active. Here is a citation from one of the threads on their forum for David Brown cars:
David Birchall 12.5.2010 "I should have said that both David Read and Tim Stamper have been very helpful to me. I just happened to have been communicating with Chris Adams in the past few days... Keith Dixon and Alan Wheatley of Alperform have enormous technical knowledge they are prepared to share-I almost have them on speed dial"
