Hi Dave. I think Kas covered that in the GT6 competition manual. Don't have=
 mine handy so I'm afraid I'm not much help.  Kind of going through the sam=
e exercise on my spitfire. Current thickness in 2.990 and I need to mill .0=
50 off to hit 12:1.  I'm concerned about breaking into water jackets if I d=
o that though.

Good luck.

Wondering if anyone can tell me the max I can shave off my GT6 head. Actual=
ly looking for the minimum height of the head after milling.  Right now the=
 head stands at 3.283".  With a 2.95 bore=2C 2.99 stroke=2C .033 squished h=
ead gasket and 34.5 cc valve pockets.  The compression=2C as I figure it=2C=
 is 9.76:1.  I'm looking for 12:1.
The head is stamped V3119 and 308361.   It's off of a 1970 GT6+ that we're =
building strictly for racing.  Looks like we can still remove at least .040=
.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Dave
