Re: How do I measure how much can be milled off 1951 288 head?

It’s never been clear to me that warpage is such a problem in these heads as, with all the studs and nuts and being relatively thin, they should pull down. Corrosion, gouges or dips in the surface is another matter that would require milling.

That said, you have two choices. Take a chance and have it milled or do the clay test first and decide from there. There are no known measurements that will tell you in advance if it can be milled or not.
