Aslo ive got 225 injectors will I need bigger as im looking at 340-360 figures

And what sort of price am I looking at? Dont want to spend to much ;)

if the head is off if i was you i would re seat the valves. if your spending big bucks why not spend a few extra hours whiles its off. to reseat the valves doesn't cost much if no other parts are needed

That sounds a cheap price. New 550cc are £250 from badger 5 I think. I'm debating weather to sell mine or not at the mo????????? As iv only done 2000 miles this year! And only 3200 last year!

Ive seen some 440cc are they no good?

dont just choose any old injector..
the spray pattern and make will effect its running

a lot of the 440cc injectors have crap spray pattern and will result in lumpy driving

bosch 550cc ftw
