    Default When milling the head down, how much is safe?

    Simply put in the subject; If im running stock pistons and stock valves, and i want to get my head milled, and i take it to the machineshop, how much should i have them take off of it so my engine will still run safely? This is for a Honda B-series engine.

    they arent going to take off too much if they are smart. Take it to Dover Heads. I only deal with them when It comes to head....lol

    Now, let me see; If i have my head milled like that, and i want a bigger cam? Will that work out, or will i end up pushing my valves through my pistons like that?
