Default how much have these heads been milled? (Pictures)




Give me your best guess because I have never seen milled heads before. Do these combustion chambers look milled more than .020?

Without measuring you can't tell anything. You can't look at them and say really anything other than there are heads with chambers in them. What heads are they? Take them to a machine shop and have them measure them. You can measure from the bolt surface to the deck surface and get a good idea on how far they are milled from there.

Okay thanks. I guess I just wanted to know in general if they look more than usual or just your average milled heads. I'll take them to the shop that milled them to make sure it was done to what I requested...thanks.

They are stock 243's that I took to a shop and had them mill .020

I just didn't know if the chambers look that small when milled that slight amount.

The chambers won't look any different with that small of an amount taken off the heads.

I would be worry about the gouges in the deck surface. Those look deep unless they are water droplets.

Yea. lol I spent the whole day staring at my 241's porting them and these looked smaller so I took a guess.

If they were 243s milled .020 then they must be about 61.6-62.0cc so do I win anything?
