Perhaps I should make up some of the height difference with a thinner gasket? ZZP says their max that they are comfortable milling down is .030, if it works for them it should work for me right?
@DarkHorizon: is this from personal experience? Have you had an issue with head warp? And .001" difference wouldn't make a difference but I could see it past the 32nd range...I've worked with metal for the last decade, and I would have never thought about warp issues from a few thousandths...I really need to get my hands on some used L26 heads so I can get a feel for their machinability potential. Problem is that I am swamped at work right now and on the 29th it's going to get crazier as I will be teaching a day class as well so ill be working from 7:15am to 10:30pm...yay...
