Not posted in a while hope everyone is doing well, Just wanted to give some guys a head up with a company that some may have used in the past

Also know as piston components,

Save your self a lot of hassle and bring ripped off. Avoid the company like the plague there a bunch of rip off conning twats.

Cylinder Head Express Ltd
427 Drumoyne Rd, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, G51 4DD

I was originally quoted £100 for some work which then escalated up to £471 after a few chats what I have been told is
Cylinder bore £50 a cylinder
fit pistons to conrods £10 each
wrongly order shells (shells where only to be ordered if the crank was ground) £171
Crank was only polished
So I have ended up being charged £160 for a crank polish

After getting my parts back (oh engine block may need acid dipped as the twats have painted it in enamel (wasn't requested) I went back to the company to ask for the invoice only to be told to get the invoice would cost me £80 odd

They took the Pistons and Components name when the real P and C closed down, pretty sure they are not anything to do with the original company that was on great western road.

And hello Ant, you've been missing as long as me

[Ant-dat]

they still have the name on the building, I agree though I don't think its the same guys, P+C where very helpful in the past and first class service with them.

But these guys complete bell ends. I have some pics of the mess of the block still covers in metal deposits from the machining that i'll post up soon.

Defo been a while, I keep trying to get along to one of the Thursday meets but usually work gets in the way

after 3 hours I managed to get the crappy black paint off the block

They used a very simelar name to Pistons & Components when we closed down, And bought the phone number from BT, Took one of the staff who last a month with them and now works for me.

They really are a cowboy outfit none of there guys are trained engineers, Just guys who have been shown how to work machines, Any machine work i need done now goes to Kilmarnock Engine services, There customers service isnt the best but there works good and prices are reasonable.
