Because the mileage my car does is low, the extra cost doesn't bother me. I haven't tried it on standard pump 95 grade. As others have said the cylinder head should be fine as alloy heads must already have steel inserts for the valve seats.

I wonder if that came for the same dealer as PRO324R, a Sprint I used to own, now being restored by Dave Poth...

It may well have done !!! She does need both cills replacing, probably a front valance and both front wings and the inner arches will need some attention too.
