I spent today pulling the head oof my '84 245 due to a leaking head gasket. The job went smoothly with no surprises. I took the head in to a machine shop to have it check for warp and it is warped. The center of the head is the highest point with .004" to .006" of warp. The machinist inteneds to mill the head back to flat. He won't be able to get to it until the beginning of next week. My question is: Is this an acceptable practice on a aluminum head? Will this cause problems with the cam bearings? I was taught something different in my college auto tech class. What's the consensus?
Thanks,
Nick
