MGB Cylinder Head
Bit of a long-shot really but has anyone heard of or know of anyone buying an 18v type Longman modified B Head recently please.
It is a Full Race Head and has the initials TB stampped on the top face of the rocker cover facing. Any help greatly appreciated. |

Sounds more like a one-off special - 18 valve! Crikey, that's four and a half valves per cylinder!, and reading between the lines, perhaps someone has it that shouldn't!

or, did anyone buy at Beaulieu or stoneleigh a nicely prepared 18v head (the reinforced Leyland FIA pre 65ones made in 1977) with a grinded away lower spot on the top face of the rocker cover facing????, so your engine runs like a rocket but the rockercovergasket always leaks, then you need to phone Terry!

As I have known and dealt with this 'Specialist' for a good few years,I was foolish enough to trust his word,never had any reason not to. Next thing I hear is that its been cleaned up and sold on as a 'New Longman Head'!! So,he's scored a double over me,first he palms me off with a shagged Burgess Fast Road Head,[I had actully never seen what I'd bought,it wasn't till I sent the last head back to Burgess that I found out that in fact I had bought a totally un-used new head,un-seen from someone I know just would not rip anyone off.] So now I am £350 out of pocket on the work Pete did to the fast road head,plus whatever this low life made out of the Longman version. Really nice having friends like this! |

This sounds like you have been a victim of fraud to me, Terence. Have a word with a solicitor and maybe the police.

The 'seller' is wrong Esper,you at least need one of the blanking tubes and that needs to be central.
Got a serious enquiry on the Grantura,guys on holiday for ten days but has asked if it can be held onto till he returns to home[France]
