Hello people,Is there any ways of finding out if a part is genuine? For example if I was to buy a cylinder head that had been port/polished by Richard, how would I know he had done it?

So don't trust them unless they have a receipt? Even so, he could have a receipt, but have 2 heads. Sell me a standard one, and keep the Longman one to himself? ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

Have a look at the ports? You should be able to easily tell the difference between a standard and modified head at the very least as the standard one will have the rough sand-cast finish still  Does'nt mean it's definitely a Longmans head but you will know it's not a standard one for sure.Did'nt most of them have a little plate on them with a number? ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I thought there was a plate or something. Oh I can definately tell its been ported/polished, but I can't tell if it was by Richard or not.On the inlet side, top right, there is a 4 digit serial number. Downside is, it was written on with permanent pen  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

if theres no way of proving who did the work then buy it on the grounds that its a ported head, and not a specific persons modified one |

I've PMd CJM with a number for contacting Longmans old engine builder, he should be able to authenticate this and clear up any doubts ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

AFAIK they only stamped competition stuff. Any retail work won't be stamped.I have a Longman head that has no serial number or markings. ________________________________________ Rich |
