Kent,

I'm not familiar with that specific engine, but whenever decks or heads or milled, I ask the shop to do what we call a "skim cut"--that's only the amount needed to insure a flat surface. This process also makes for a good gasket seal too. Any cuts on either the deck (block) or the head will result in a slightly smaller combustion chamber and therefore, a little more compression. I don't know valve/piston clearance on that engine, but if you have any doubts about adequate clearance, this should be checked before running the engine. Usually this is not a problem though, but I wanted to mention it since I haven't built that particular engine before. If that block uses sleeves, you should also confirm how the sleeve height will work if the parts are milled. If so, you may have to take a cut on the sleeves too. The engine shop should be able to tell you that once they get all the parts on hand.
