Have the shop cc a couple chambers and then tell you waht you need. They are always larger than the factory specs.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Just a rough measure and they were 75cc. I thought all of them were under 80 from the start?
they must have been cut before ? how thick is the boss where the outer rom of headbolts are under the exh ? something better than a rough measure , don't use a tape measure

You would think with those closed chambers you could go higher on the compression. (Depending on cam.)

I cc'd them a while ago, this time with a plexiglass plate and a syringe from the local animal supply. I get right at 78-80. The thickness is 1.000-1.010 (digital calipers).
You are still seeing a .010 difference , that 10 thou , thats alot with a digital caliper , but the heads haven't been planed , if much at all .

factory miling marks on th head deck are straight wheras machine shop ones leave circular marks. this may help you determine if it is original/unmilled

Someones used a scotchbrite on the gasket surfaces with a air tool or something. Makes it hard to tell.
Those things can screw up the flatness of the surface real easy , the heads should be at a minimum SKIMMED to true the surface .

I'm familiar with K&M and Mann. Have used neither as I've never had much work done before. Never heard of Yancy.
I've heard different stories on different ones. You know how it is, you only hear the bad.
only motors i know of built at k&m were 800-1000 hp chevys. the local car quest machine shop does all my standard procedure stuff, and hughes has done all my head work cam etc. local place says they cant mill the intake side of the head (or the intake for that matter). and any of the local "performance shops" dont seem to want to mess with just a head mill on some dang dodge motor. so i take my stuff to cameron. kinda nervouse bout taking my $1200 heads to anybody but hughes but it would have taken prob $200 just to ship them there and back. cameron has always done me good. he even miled a smallblock intake for me years ago.

ok here is some confusing info ( I think, unles I'm reading wrong ) I have in my archives that for every 0.010 of head need to mill 0.0123 of intake side... actually could it be done on intake or intake side of head, thats on each one, but still wondering if there is enough material to make a heavy mill down job on intake side of the head without get weak ( maybe it could be shared between head and intake ) that would mean for 0.060 mill down head surface will need 0.0738 on intake side... 0.030 would it be 0.0369 on intake side but here has been told: Quote:
and .0063 to the intake for every .010 you mill from the head. so .030 off the heads would get you about 5cc and require a .0189 intake cut
Then ARE WE ALL AGREE about needs to mill 0.0062 for each CC ?
ALSO confirming conversion info... one milimeter would it be about 0.052 ? or less ?

well those numbers are stated on the archive to B and RB blocks. not SB, so that it could be the reason
nah...we used the small block specs... trying to find them...cant find them in my mopar book right now. hughes says the same for small block (.0063 for every .010) his machine shop also might have donked them up????

I have 452s to make the job. BTW sorry the highjack cdp, but maybe my questions it could be very usefull on this thread GREAT LINK!!!!... BTW, I think we all were talking about open heads ( however, 452s are on 90 CC numbers, mine got 92 CC, LOT MORE than the link states, but I think works the same on reducing CC job, since we talk on these about a cilindrical geometry on open heads not the wedged chamber area. )

no problem. You have valid questions. I have a set of 906's and was curious to how much was needed just to get 1cc. I need to get them down some too.
Thanks to everyone here, I think I got my answers to some degree.
I've heard that some info in the BB MP Book is not correcet. The milling could be one of those things. I have the book too.
The heads I have are 516's (closed chamber), so it will take more to gain 1cc as compared to an open head.
So the .0062 would be for closed, and .004 for open?

I still haven't done anything yet in all this 6 months since I got all the parts to my performance upgrade ( I have been some lazy to began the porting job LOL ), but I also wanted to be sure about the numbers needed. Quote:
plus you could have use the lesser of the two figures and if it was wrong you could have more milled.
yes definitelly you are right, but as stated I don't want to make the job twice ( funds reasons mainly )

My MP eng bok states for each .010" from the head(deck) .0095 needs to come off the intake side and .0048" off of the deck loses 1cc(340-360) and .0053" off of the deck loses 1cc(273-318).

Heres a question: How does it affect the valley pan gasket when taking that much material off?
if you cut alot off the heads and or the deck the valley end rails need to be cut after a certian point as the valley gasket won't fit well without :hammering .
I have a block that was decked .018 , the heads have about .050 cut off , I had to cut close to .080 off the valley rails to get the gasket to fit the way I wanted to . I think the number off the rail is the same as what you take off the intake side of the head , .0123
