Sorry to bring up an old thread. But what is the maximum (in mm) you can remove from the cylinder head? I brought up this questions recently in the Evo engine forums.

I seem to remember it being 8 thousanths, and the spec you quoted seems to indicate that as well ("grinding limit .2mm/.008"") I've gone further, but you start to mess up the tbelt geometry, among other risks.
