    Shaun, Do you know how much can be machined safely from the head to bring it back to the necessary flat surface?

    I certainly do - according to the Bentley manual the MINIMUM head height (top to face) after skimming is 124.7mm, so as long as your head's not warped, you could get three skims out of it (well over a million miles if looked after!). If I remember correctly there is a marked area in the combustion chambers, I'll have a look at my spare head for you tomorrow to double check.

    HTH,

    Shaun M
