2007 S40 Having head machined...how much??

Post by Craigd2599 »

Fellas,
I am doing a head gasket change after overheating. Took the head to a really great machine shop here in Lynchburg. The machinist asked me a question that I was wondering myself. With this being an interference motor and the tolerances being close to begin with, is there a maximum that is recommended he take off when planing the head? (Assuming it's warped) If so, is there a head gasket for use on a head that has been milled? Is it possible to bottom the head bolts because the head was decked? Anyone know this sort of thing?
