Has anyone tried milling the deck of our heads about .030 to increase the compression a bit? I've heard of this being done before and I was curious to see if anyone had attempted this on our motors. I'd imagine it would be a pretty straight forward job and wouldn't hurt any. There shouldn't be clearance issues or anything. Maybe a stronger gasket for safety's sake but, I don't think there would be any other issues.

So, would it be a good or bad thing to consider down the road?
