I will wait and see how prompt they'll be.They did not advertise bigbore gaskets in the Catalog. Dunnell and Raceline play with the hydro zetec but don't have a reputation for being prompt with US customers. The car does lousy burnouts...no weight on the rear. Very interesting in the wet.

I have personally visited their shop in Essex (Ford country ). Their machining/building skills appear to support the business, rather than selling goodies. The same applies to Dunnel and Raceline AFAIK.
