You need to make sure you're using a MACHINISTS precision straight-edge. Not all straight-edges have "straight" edges. Anything more than .004" and it should be resurfaced.
i like seeing no more than .002 runout on the head.......usually i mount the head in the bridge port and run the dial indicator across the head.......if you dont have access to that you can do it like joe said........but again make sure you use a percision straight edge
Agreed with the requirement of proper tools. But if I even question it, send it to a shop, a "clean up" will take as minimal meterial off which will have virtually no difference in the CC and you know its right.
