There is a known problem with the Mazda alloy heads that once overheated the alloy is softened and the problem will re-occur
That being said I hope it works out well.

Second that - I have used Mark at Harris engines for my machine work, block bore, clean, decked, crank knife edged, fully build dynamic balance - all the work is good. Mark was the first person I spoke to (after talking to many) than didn't sound confused when I said knife edged. Also they are a one stop shop, they can do everything. Very nice guy to deal with, listens, gives good advise and is not condescending in the slightest for the weekend warrior armed with some information like me
