Hey guys,

I'm in the process of putting together a 3.4L, and I'd like to have some machining done, but I can't find much info online. I know the deck heights are very tight on these engines, and I'm not sure if case and head surfacing is permissible at all. Does anyone know the max material that can be removed before running into valve interference issues?
