Shaving the head is a nice thing to do. I had .060 taken off my 71 TR6 head
and I have no running problems with midgrade gas. The machinist also rounded
the sharp edges in the combustion chamber which helps with pre-ignition.
Changing the cam is a whole 'nother operation. You have to pull the radiator
and grill and the front of the engine all of which is not necessary with a
head change.
Since it was the path of least resistance I chose to not change my camshaft
at this time. (Besides, I am planing on a short block overhaul soon anyway)
Enjoy.
