I'm not sure about anything. :-) I looked thru the receipts from the
machine shop and couldn't find anything. I do remember I was a bit shocked
when the machine shop told me how much was removed. I did ask about the
possibility of piston - valve collision. And whether I would need shorter
pushrods.
It is a 1500 block and head. In fact Joe, I think it's the block I bought
from you. Maybe I can figure a way to measure the head while on the engine,
any ideas ?

Arte you sure about that number? .25 is a quarter of an inch. That seems
to be a bit extreme for milling a head. If it is a 1500 head on a 1500
engine, it would give you about 250 pounds of compression on each cylinder
and ping like a pinball machine.
I might buy .025 whoch would be a bit more reasonable.
On the other hand, a quarter of an inch would be reasonable for a 1500 head
on a 1300 engine because the heads are about a quarter inch thicker than
those of a 1300 to begin with.
I learned this the hard way! :)
