Tim,
I just went to the 311s.org Forums, clicked the Search button, entered "head
thickness" (without the quotes) in the "Search for Keywords" box, checked
the "Search for all terms" radio button, clicked the Search button , and
found 22 matches. Scrolled down the list and saw "Head thickness" and "head
cut to much" topics. The latter has the answer for a R16 motor (you didn't
say which):
<http://www.311s.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1901>
So, what did you do differently when searching for this info?

Subject: Head thickness specs/ overheating
Sorry this is rather verbose.
I am over heating within five miles of driving--and it was not a hot day
last Saturday. I have a new water pump, new water tower that does not leak,
a 160 thermostat, what should be a three core radiator, and I am pretty sure
I have all the air out of the system. The timing should be set correctly
after installing a Gary Boone dizzy. Idle is rough but might be incorrect
needles after the de smog process.
After reading what I could find about overheating on the 311.org site, I am
wondering if the head was cut too much last fall? If so I am going to cry...
I need to know what an uncut head measures and what the minimum thickness a
late model head can be. Can I measure the head on my car with out removing
it?
I just spent an hour or so looking at the 311.org forum and cannot seem to
find head specs.
Someone please send me the 311.org link for head information, or just the
info I need please.
Again, sorry for the length of this.
Hot in Wisconsin,
Tim
