The above question came up today, I am just curious for the answer. I talked to a guy today that was having his head rebuilt, and his mechanic told him that the head was warped 5/1000 of an inch... is that reusable or does it need to be shaved?? And as said above, what is the actual service limit??

The limit is 1 mm(.004 in.). Sounds like he needs a shave.

there is a right right by this one.. he got his milled 7/1000th.. so i'm guessing 5/1000th would be alright.. haha.
