Heads
I'm planning on getting my heads cleaned and resurfaced. Whats the maximum I can shave off to increase compression. How much would you all recommend to get taken off. Also, what else besides replacing gaskets should I do while the heads are off. Thanks in advance.

Then again, higher compression isnt always better. there was a post I remember readin a lil bit ago (I cant remember if it was in the stickies or not) But it was talkin about compression ratios and whatnot. But if you decide to go that route then I would also look into a port and polish job and maybe a three angle valve job (if it is allowed without hurting anything of course). just my 2 cents

milling the heads on these cars causes problems with cam timing as well..
if you're talking just a few thousandths, then it's no big deal.. bu if you remove enough to actually make a difference in the compression, then you're going to cause issues with cam timing.
