was wondering MAX amount on cyl head you can take off lb7.
i have worked on these trucks for a living for a long time and never new/cared til mine got torn down. this truck makes me money pushing snow so i cant afford to have anything else go wrong that could have been done now. sooooooo im doing all the cups turbo oil line gaskets(mild leak) studs , blah blah blah. also last night took pass sied head off saw #7 piston was beat up......and CLEAN aka my cooland leak. ran the VIN never had inj in it so i dont think the piston "damge" was from a nozzle gernading or anything but ive seen this before alot for over fueling but never from just injested cooant.........................

I think you'll only have 0.30 of valve inset. I had to have one mulled I think we took 0.03 or 0.05 off of it and it is still running fine, I would go back with the C Headgasket.. IMO

All Data has specs for out of service tolerances. Your machinist should have the data but you can take a substantial amount of. You would also need to recess the valves again for other clearances issues.
