Thought so.
I was thinking that your original prices were a bit low. I was originally oging to have JWT do the headwrok on my 1.6. After some research I found a local shop that had the resources to do the work properly and the knowledge to not seriously mess it up. I think I paid about $600 for the work (port and polish intake and exhaust ports, multi angle valve job, polished bowls etc...) and another $300+ on the Swain coatings. I recently dropped off the head and JWT cams so that they could assemble everything and check the clearance and adjust the shims if necessary. Heck that was included in the price so why not let them do it. I realize that the cylinder head is not the same as a DPR head, but I am very impressed with their work thus far, and as lousy as the stock head is I'm SURE we will see some decent gains. Once I get the parts back from the shop I should have everything I need to install them.
