Hard to compare like for like when the Cruise description is quite vague mate. They don't seem to upgrade the rods for example?

With modifications like that and the logistics involved I'd go with whoever can offer the most back up in case there's an issues further down the line.

Glad you said that I found the Cruise description unclear also. I have read Rods type is important with 5E's longer stroke and that 5efhe rods are good for 1.7 bar, which matches Cruise saying the build is good for 315.6Hp so I assume this means 5efhe rods.

Zisco have replied only 4e's available at the present.

Backup wise that leaves Race Tech which doesn't appear to have a waranty and RHD ( Cruise ) will organise repair if the supplier agrees but requires shipping in a week which means air freight...... Still those 5e's are attractive

Seen a cruise head once and was very disappointed, hardly anything done.

To be honest, I would build my own.

Ok guys thanks for that advice, looks like I best fix the 4e to keep it driving and start a 5E project separately. I can see a lot of joy in having a 5E specially built rather than off the shelf even though there will be more time involved.
