Hi! I live in the Wokingham/Bracknell/Sandhurst area & have a 1963 mk111 Ford Zodiac and am looking for a recommended garage/mechanic to work on my car. If you can recommend someone, please say why.

I recently had the bores honed, and new pistons/rings fitted, but no longer have the mechanic who did that work. The car has done 600 miles since the work and goes well (still running-in, of course, and I'm not going above 50mph. I'd like to know what should be done as a follow-up - I assume check valve clearances - anything else?

I'd appreciate any suggestions - thanks!

Welcome to the forum, at the very least I'd have thought re-torque the head as required, tappets, and a change of oil

PS any photos around showing the car?
