Anyway, it all depends on the cam, and cam manufacturers dont routinely give that info as it can vary from car to car depending on the install, if it was degreed, and as a timing chain stretches. You need to measure.

Just for posterity's sake, I thought I'd mention that I did mill 0.040" and run the 0.040" gaskets. No problems. The intake manifold dropped right in and the bolts threaded without any problem.
