According to TFS, they can be milled safely to 54cc... I am milling mine to 58 or 60cc. they have a huge deck, but unless you are naturally aspirated, why do you want to mill them? 5cc's will change about a point of compression

sure your not thinking of 215 heads?

Last I heard 235 heads 64cc was smallest chamber recommended, per Brian Tooley.

I would mill cylinder heads least amount possible

I had several extensive phone conversations with TFS and they can be brought down to 54-56cc, safely. They even said I can angle mill them as well up to 80 thousandths

I agree with you Fraser and I wouldn't recommend it for a poweradder deal because I would want as much deck as possible. I would just build the piston for my compression, not mill the heads

But when I have stuffed the chamber with as much dome as I can without compromising flame travel, I have to mill my heads down to get my desired compression ratio... 70cc ain't gonna cut it
