How much can I safely mill a 2003 sohc head?
Stock cam
Stock pistons
Stock everything..

I did a quick search, but I'm in a bit of a hurry and don't have time to skim 50 posts

Thanks guys!

Is .020 considered safe?

Yes.

You can prolly go .040, and be fine. You will just need adjustable cam gears.

Just a fyi I milled my mag head .040 and with a crane 14 valves tapped pistons, even with an adjustable gear.
So if you are going to mod it later take that into consideration.

Well, I did tell the machine shop to only mill it .020
Got it back today, clean and milled a whopping .010
Go figure... Old people...
"manufacturer suggests only..." bleh..

that's when you say, "i know the manufacturer suggests only .010, but i said .020. either you can re-do it, or i'll take my head and, pay you for only half of the work requested, and go to another shop"
