Plus anyone that fits a K20 into a Jazz definitely needs to know their onions.

Blueprint ADL do a timing belt kit which include both tensioners and belts for the Prelude. Mine is getting done on Sunday along with a whole rake of other bits and bobs.
Thanks C12HLL, this is more stuff good to hear.

Doggo, there is an alternative to performancetek who is a friend. Andrew Baird aka Automek in East Kilbride.

Would recommend him above anyone. Just recently finished a rebuild on one of my mates R33 GTR's and done a sterling job. Also done a massive amount of work on another friends EK9 with a JRSC and all sorts of gubbons going in to it.

Always has nice metal in getting work done and prices are reasonable.

Thanks, C12HLL, always good to have another option.

This place is only a few minutes from where I work so definitely of interest. Ta :)

Just for a bit of feedback, chaps, had Service, Inspection, Belts, Tensioner etc. and Gearbox Oil sorted by Gerry at PerformanceTek today.

The Hávamál (Norse poetry dating back 1,000+ years) says “Praise not day until evening, no wife until buried, no sword until tested, no maid until bedded, no ice until crossed, no ale until drunk”. In accordance with same I won't say too much here, but I'm really not expecting any trouble from the engine, and I am moved to comment that based on this acquaintance he seems like a pretty straight, decent guy and to know his stuff. :D

Cheers

I have used Gerry in the past and the service and work has always been spot on. No complaints from me, the bodywork that was carried out wasn't a bad job at all. He did warn that the rust would come back and it did possibly due to the next owner not really looking after the car.

I don't have a bad word to say about PerformanceTek :)

Cheers for answering one of my original Q's, Sha :D

No one seems to have a bad word to say. As I say, he seems a good bloke and to have done a good job on mine too. I'll be going back there again.
