Engine work by Stevo at Rossmods

[dwarfy]

Anyone had any work done by Stevo at Rossendale Models?
The Zen 23 in the marder I picked up has low compression so was toying with getting it something done with it. I don't want to go daft and over spend on it but a bit extra would be nice :cool2:

Do I stick with the 23cc or big a big head kit on it?
What work could you get done (typically) for say £100? Would this get you a porting job or are we talking more?

Ive got an FG tuned pipe which I believe gives good all round performance and would suit me more rather than a scorching top or bottom end.

Oh I mention Stevo cos the shop is only about 8 miles from my house rather than sending it off anywhere else!!
