I agree, measure with a degree wheel and know for sure.

jinxedz, if you're trying to decide between a .020" or .010"- go with the .020" mill. Compression is your friend. It'll even idle better (smoother) if you can get the compression up some.

great, thanks.

If I mill, will the Hardened TSP 7.4 pushrods I have be adequate, or will I have to go smaller?

You can mill .025 with stock gasket and still have good clearances, and that way 7.400 will be perfect on stock lifters.
