262 head max milling?

devin

It's me again. I've learned from my machinist that the 262 head mounted to my 308 is in need of a shave. Can anyone tell me wha the minimum final head thickness should be?
Thank you

Ck if its ever been shaved previously then it should measure 2" originally, so I suggest mill .060 - .080 safely. (However, Ive milled them much further then installed short reach s/plugs).

Factory spec was a max of .060 or total thickness if 1.94".

The thinner it is the more it "squashes" the combustion chamber.

just learned that I'm at 1.960 after the necessary milling!

Good to go!
