just looking for a small bump in compression ... so what would the recommendation for milling be? (meaning how much)
shorter pushrods needed with a small mill or just use a checker?
thanks in advance

it is better to use a thinner head gasket like a cometics .040 than to mill your heads. A thinner head gasket improves quench while milling does not and can hurt cylinder head flow.
btw do a search to verify but I beleive a .040 gasket will give you a little over 11:1 compression
