Chris,
I am trying to source a supply in Melbourne for Mahle. Also Brad is
speaking to someone in Brisbane. There is no distributor in Melbourne at
the moment so I am still looking. Valve reliefs (flycuts) are usually only
needed with the larger lift cams ) 0.300" and above. Although this is a
relatively easy and cheap operation.
Cheers
Feral Errol
