16v head shave Meze you got an opinion...

[green536@hotmail.com (Chris DeLong)]

Actually Dave ;) the max you can machine the head without relocating the 
tensioner stud is 70 thousandths. I know. I have done it right up to the max 
(65 thousandths).

I also found a Heron head for 450$ brand new. Although I obviously am 
partial to 16v's this head has me thinking... hmmmm.....
