FWIW, when I had my head milled (forgotten how much now, and I didn't write
it down when I had it done about 6 - 8 years ago), I found that there was
enough adjustment in the valve lash adjusters to compensate, and maintain the
same rocker/push rod geometry. I think I'm running about 9.5 to 1 compression
ratio, so that'll give you some indication of the amount I had milled. I
extrapolated from the data in Kas Kasner's book to arrive at the amount to
have the head milled to arrive at that compression ratio.
Of course, I'm electrical, not mechanical, so I may be all wet, but that's my
opinion. Worth at least half of what you paid for it (half of zero is still
zero, right?).
