Another week, another beast of a cylinder head out the door! This one's a full race Vauxhall XE head, ready to unleash 300hp naturally aspirated 👌🏻 All new durabond valve seats throughout for the larger valves, built with quality parts from.
First post of 2026 and a very happy new year everyone 😊🙌🏻

Kicking off the new year with some awesome before and after shots of our recent project for! We stripped, inspected, and cleaned an R32 VR6 cylinder head, which was in surprisingly good shape despite some carbon build-up. After installing new stem seals and machining the surface, it's all set to be fitted back into a mk5 golf with a new turbo conversion.

Today I finally got the engine & gearbox in the polo. I have set out to make sure it is in before the Christmas break, today was the only day to get it done. This had to happen, I gave the car a good clean before install the engine. It's not finished but it's more progress & I am really happy how it looks. It's really coming together with big thanks to Alex for his hard work & skills to make this all happen 😎 #vw #vwpolo #polo9n #20v #20vturbo
Some simple modifications on this kirkey race seat for a local drag racer as the seat doesn't fit the car so needed just a little bit of height taking off.

Scroll to see the progress and finished pictures on this Ford Zetec dry sump repair 👌🏻

Milled out all the unwanted material, dig out the crack and get everything nice and square before welding it back up and then cleaning everything down, I left the welds inside the sump for a bit of extra strength but outside she looks sweet as!

Hi Guys,

Today was a good day in the shed 🤙 Alex called over after work to see how my recovery was going and chat 💩.

As he was here he was feeling left out because I was working on the Fuel tank mount and he was just sitting watching. So I handing him the welder to get cracking on the punk tank 🤣🤣

The fuel tank is now modified and welded up, the nudge bar is now repositioned and welded in, there is loads of clearance at Ride height.

The Puke tank is now 90% welded up, ready for a bit more mocking up in the car 🤙

Simon 💪

Finally sorted and published the official TCK website!

Its still in the early stages of getting things sorted and products added etc but moving forward this should hopefully drive new customer engagement and bring us some more exciting projects!

If you fancy taking a browse and looking at the gallery etc then head over to
After cracking a couple of liners dropped his cylinder head off with me to get a full check over and weld repairs on hia cylinder head to get it back to perfect condition!

Thankfully after doing a thorough inspection on the head everything proved to be perfect and just simply needed a little bit of welding, minimum surface and then a full clean down and assemble ready to race again!

At the same time I also enlarged his spark plug recesses and made a custom spark plug socket so that he can use a larger 3/4 racing spark plug.

Looking forward to seeing the car back out racing at the track again and seeing what its fully capable of 👌🏻

Another busy week getting lots more welding and cylinder heads sorted out! Got a few vauxhall red top heads done, a pair of Ferrari v12 heads and some other Volkswagen 1.8 heads going through the motions as well!

Making moves in the right direction at the moment and absolutely smashing through the work 👌🏻
