Unhappy Heads coming off

Well I had a lifter fail on me the other week so the heads have to come off to replace them all. I figure while there off they may as well be worked over at the machine shop. My question is how much can I have my stock heads (241's)milled running my Torquer V.2 232/234dur .595/.598lift 114lsa using new stock gaskets and using my hardend comp 7.4 pushrods? I've read 15-30 thousandths in different searchs I just wanted to know if someone on here could tell me for sure?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm sure 30 easy. Why don't you have them measure how much room you have before they rip off the heads?? Shouldn't add to much time to tear down...

Oh, i'll be getting a new cam because of the lifter damage. I just figured i'd go with the same thing again because it worked great, unless I can go bigger(234/238dur .600/.600lift lsa? is what I was thinking) and still clear the heads with milling.
