Default Max L92 head milling

What's the max that a set of L92's can be milled without having to mill the intake to fit?

We've flat milled many L92's .045" without intake fitment issues.

Excellent! Another user on here milled his .070 and had to have his intake milled to fit. Think you could go more than that or is that about it, Richard?
