Warped Heads - What's Acceptable This question is about an SBC. But, since this is more of a general engine technical question, I thought it would be appropriate to post it here, too.

That number will change depending on the head gasket type you end up using.
If I recall, steel gaskets recommed not more than 0.006" variance. I would
think that value accounts for both mating surfaces (head and block).
Just out of interest, I measured my block to <0.002" and heads were 0.002" -0.003".
