Default Re: Head skimming: Any tips?

Take the heads to a shop that has a surface grinder. Using a milling machine can quickly damage the surface. If you don't know whether the heads have been surfaced before, you can check valve head clearance by placing modeling clay in the valve area, then placing the head on the block, and turning the crankshaft. Then observe the clay to see if there is sufficient clearance.
