first, you must remember why we do this... many of the folks
here go out and buy new heads, new pistons, new cranks and
they just load up and spend big bucks... but that is not why we
are here.... I hope your using a good economical machine shop.

have them grind the heads as low as there willing to go and then
go out and buy a copper head gasket... in fact you may not even need
to have them leveled with the copper head gasket....remember the copper head gasket is thick and it may give back to room....
