Final Milling question I'm putting together a H/C pacakge for my 02 LS1. I have a quick question.
Heads are 5.3 with 2.02/1.575 Manley Pro Flos
Cam is Futral F14 (232/234 .598/.598 - 112-0)
I'm looking for max quinch, but I know I'm getting close to PtoV issues. I'm planning on claying the pistons before final torqueing.
OK, how much could I mill the heads if I plan on claying the pistons and then use the clay thickness to determine which head gaskets to run? (.040 " or .050")
I've been told 0.010" is the max safe cut if you just want to assmeble without checking tolorences.
TIA,
Tim

I'm planning on running it through by hand with no gaskets and some clay on the pistons.
