Default Milling Heads Intake Question
If I mill my heads say .030 does that affect how the intake will bolt to the heads.

You shouldn't have a sealing problem with an 0.030 mill, but I do suggest using a fresh set of intake gaskets. I believe it starts to become a problem with over an 0.050 mill.

i was curious on this too. Because my machine shop guy wants 100 to mill the heads to any cc, but if he has to shave the intake then he wants 350.
