i did a search but didnt really see anything. what is the max you can deck a head?

i have a warped head and i might trash it depending on the specs of decking the head.

The head gasket is available in a 0.3mm thicker version. So if you'd like to maintain stock compression ratio you shouldent machine it more that that.

no, it is a plus size gasket especially for this purpose.
