Default Re: Need some head clearance advice

Another point to watch, as I found out the hard way, is that when you take a significant amount off the head, you are changing the shape of the combustion chamber over the pistons. I solved this by following Ol Ron's advice and taking the reduced inverted dome out to the gasket line with careful use of a flap wheel. Not hugely accurate compared to doing it on a mill, but seems to work fine.
