milling heads

[custom8726]

0.05 milled off LLY heads.. Do the valves need to be cut and re-seated when shaving off such a small amount? In the process of installing ARP's and C grade HG's. Heads looked fine with a strait edge but I want to have them milled/cleaned up slighlty but dont want to get into the cost of rebuilding the entire heads for no reason..

You had to take off .050" not .005" I would check as .050" is a lot.

Better hope they took .005" not .05"

IIRC, grade C's are thicker and should compensate for the heads being shaved

If he took .050 he would have hit the valves I figured he missed typed

I had. 004" on one side, .005" on the other.....no probs. C gaskets and ARP's as well, no issues so far. I did have to do new guides and seals too.....all were leaking.
