How much have you milled iron heads?
FORDMUD May 10th 2011, 6:07 pm
I'm looking for feedback from folks that have ran milled iron heads. Good or bad. I have a set of cj's that, I believe, have been milled .080-.110. I really want to use them. My engine will be a 15-1, 528, 14" vac deal. Less than 700hp, maybe only 600. 6500 rpm. What have you guys ran?

It's be said on here that the deck won't hold at .100, but I have done several over .100 and never had a problem.
Like Lee said milled down to the intake seat, and all the margin of the valve head hanging below the deck.
I don't see you have anything to lose if the gasket won't hold, if you already own them I would put them on...................
