rebuilding head any worth while mods?

[t-man`]

hi i rebuilding the head on my 172 due to cambelt failure, resulting in 16 bend valves. never dealt with renaults before so i am a bit clueless as to the week areas etc.

is there any worth while mods you would recommend? uprated headgasket etc? any power mods?

its being built up as a track car which ideally i want to be reliable as well.

You could have it cnc'd but you'll be looking at around £800 for that. Not sure what power gains it shows off the top of my head

I would do the cams at the same time.

plus turbo, charger or itbs maybe might as well if the heads off your almost there.

C&B or piper show good results

Piper are regrinds.

Shrick would be my choice if I was buying again.
