It takes somewhere in the neighborhood of .006 - .007 to remove 1cc from the combustion chamber. You normally want to stay under .040 to keep from having piston to valve clearance. You can go more, but will probably run into intake to head sealing issues. Hope this helps. If not just use the search button up top.
