I had an old sheet with all the common heads and not just Chevies......I did exactly as you suggest.......cut some and check them and our factors were always conservative......I never cut a head to small by accident.........


I milled and CC'ed most heads done in our shop (Crow's Head Shop) and we did machine work for other shops along with our own customers and engines....I did heads for T/Ks. I made them +.5 cc'sfor T/K and sometimes spent hours doing this
.....we did a ton of machine work for them. Charlie Weston....Hoffman and Our shop did all of Ralphs machine work.....

I miss my Storn Vulcan Blockmaster......and my FN boring bar.....I had them both going at once a lot......Not to many mishaps...only 2 I can think of and neither was terminal for parts or machines...LOL

You are correct. I seem to do more things backwards lately. I just dug thru some of my old papers and saw it is as you say. Thanks. . Damn......I must be getting old.....LOL.
