Chamfer Done

Well I got my heads back from the 2nd machine shop. They performed a chamfer on the heads.

The chamfer seems to have helped however I'm still unsure about the deck height.

To begin with, the case was spigot machined 6 thou, the heads were flycut and the tops of the max moritz cylinders were cut as well. I'm thinking that's about .75mm in total. Add on the standard .25mm base gasket and I would think a 1mm gasket size is required.

I measured the deck height using the crush solder and it looks like 1mm is required. It looks like its possible to take a little more chamfer and I might get down to .75mm gaskets.

I'm at a crossroads here and I can't proceed until I get this sorted out. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
