Carl, I machined 0.02mm off cyl heads to make mirror finish. Factory allowance is 2 times by 0.1mm. That's the way to do it when your cyls/pistons are in good shape (I have 75K miles on mines).
Machining opening for 993/964 ring in the head is IMHO very bad idea (see my post I measured ring). I've heard some shops do that.
1st there's almost not enough clearance to fit ring - it will end up jammed between head and cyl.
2nd and no less important when time comes to replace cyls/pistons you'll need to get 6 cyl heads at top of that. New cyls/pistons require surfacing of the head and your head will have deep groove for ring right there
If you go back I summarized it here:

I do not day-drive car. LFW feels more harsh compared to DMF. But them DMF had springs and all gears. DMF is actually piece of art mechanically, here's good reading:

I live in rural hilly area, my private road goes up hill about 20deg up from garage and the about same down - I have no problem stalling etc. 1st I thought about reprogramming my chip (I did that awhile ago for bmw's) but never got around.

No noticeable rust on input shaft, I used spline grease on splines.
