    If any of you have been following my rally build in the project car section you will know I plan to build the engine to a JCW spec to keep in compliance with the rules. In order to do that I need to buy JCW parts which are no easy to find for a 2004 R50. I’ve found a S head on Ebay ( John Cooper Works JCW Cylinder Valve Head | eBay ) but I can see the price will go way beyond my budget. Also I have to carry the head to Costa Rica where the Mini is. Anyway looking on Ebay I see there is a certificate that comes with the head. Does anyone have a certificate they can email me a copy? Also I need the porting specs if possible. The idea is to at least have paperwork to back up the JCW modifications I make. I’ve already bought the JCW decals which must be worth a few extra HP LOL

    I'm guessing you want to build to JCW Cooper S spec's. Aren't you going to run into problems with the scrutineers? Your car has a 5 speed & all JCW Cooper S MINIs are 6 speed getrag. You have a 5 speed midlands box of cogs. Just wondering, be careful to follow the rules so you do not get bounced out.

    No I have an R50 which there was JCW version . I'm running in the N2 class so no forced induction. Currently I have a S head fitted due to the better exhaust valves.
