Well the heads are going to the machine shop tomorrow. I am having .055 milled off of them. I want to be doubly sure that the intake will mate up to the heads ok. Im not into guessing games. Just double checking.

Using stock head gaskets.

 

how much does it cost to do work like that...just a wandering mind.

 

Mine are milled .045 with no problems and I think 02sierra5.3 milled .050 off his. I don't know any others over .050. Maybe check with Richard from WCCH, I'm sure he could tell you for certain.

 

I haven't milled more than .050" and personally checked fit. I can't say your 100% good, but the plastic intakes are pretty forgiving. Your next concern might be piston/valve clearance.

Good luck Beau,

Richard

 

Not to hijack farmers thread, but It will be ok to go .030 and be ok with intake sealing.... I just wanna be sure before I get my heads milled??????

thanks

 

You can always take a dremel to your intake and shave off just a hair to make it fit, you are talking about a difference skinnier then the period at the end of this sentence.

 

Yea, it looks like ill just be milling them .050 to be safe.

 

sounds good beau. i'd like to do mine one day.

 

Do it while you got the intake off for the swap might as well

 

i have heard that you can go .055 but cant remember when. beau, are you takin them to a machine shop in CS?
