Nick,

My head (B230FD) is in the shop of an experienced machinist now. It checked at 0.004 inch arched high in the center. It was my machinist' opinion that 0.004 was an acceptable amount to shave off of an over head cam head, though he did say he would check it for flatness on the top as well.

When they seriously warped, he straightens them by clamping/shimming to a heavy metal plate and cooking them in the shop oven.
