The oversized flat non dished valves also give a little extra static compression as the originals are heavily dished. 1.4mm has been done but I would stick at 1mm just in case another surface skim was required at a later date.

 

 

Mine is 1.2mm and is working fine, but also has a mechanical chain tensioner.

I'm not sure 2mm is even doable with enough room on the valve seats

I picked up a spare head!  As I don't know it's history are there any checks I can perform to insure its a worthy candidate for modification?   :beat:

Get it pressure tested.
