Storing heads on their wood or metal shelf that's not flat for long periods of time can cause warping. I bolt them together and stor them on edge. With the cost og new alum heads going through the roof. Have them angle milled .070" This will bring an 8BA combustion chamber down to aprox 65.70 CC. check va;ve clearance and use a dremmel to add clearance. Stock cam should clear. I use alum balls to check pisyon to head clearance. I'll be doing this to a set of EAB heads in the near future for the 258 build.
