Changing the Cylnder head in this case is not classed as a 'repair'. It was completed as part of the Merlin engines service maintenance.
To me this implys that the cylnder head modification would have already been performed on aircaft scheduled for that service before the change over. This would have sped up the conversion process conciderably.
Luckly the RAF had very competent and well trained mechanics and maintenance personel to perform the task.
