Ouch! Def the head mate? Can't they skim it? I'd get somebody else to have a look at it if I was you!

the thing will stutter if u use more than half throtle or go over 3k, thought it might be somethin like a coil. wont stutter if i just rev it will no load on tho

get the spanners out, it could just need a gasket and a skim.

of course a dealer is going to tell you it needs thousands of pounds worth of work, they're not in the business for the fun of it you know!
