Isn't there less hassle's with a RB25 than a RB26 head. Like matching up journals & stuff.

RB26 head bolts straight on with no mods bar running 12mm head studs if you choose to. Thats just a matter of drilling and tapping the block

my bad, youse misunderstood me.
i want to know the names of some machine/engine shops recommended around baywater if possible to take the head for cleaning and inspection.
ive been told to get it faced and valves seated and new valve guides i think it was.

spoke to Orger engines and Head fix. both in bayswater
both places seem like good places to get work done.
left it with head fix.he cleaned it, pressure tested/crack tested the head, face it and installed new valve guides. $200
said the head was fine and the valves were sealing fine.
so now ready for use.
