cylinder and head weigh about 13lbs boxed up

Thanks for that wildcard. Damn £80 each way for shipping looks like i will not be able to have it ported then

Carl, there aren't any locals that do that type of work in the UK?

Well i have found 2 places that are sure they can do it but they do not specialise in porting they are just bodge mechanics

I wouldn't even consider that an option. Shipping is pretty pricey overseas, but by the time you factor in the price of the tools, books and a few practice cylinders to do the porting and head work properly you'd likely be money ahead to go ahead and ship it out.
