whats the most you can take off a head without messing up the standard compression ratio? the head was skimmed "as a matter of course" by a machine shop and i am pretty sure it hasnt been skimmed before. the head has had 6 thou taken off it. just dont wasnt to bother putting the engine back together if a head that has been skimmed too far will cos probs.... was thinking about getting pistons machined to lower comp just to be on safe side??
my car is going to be running greens and 4x4 cooler stage 3 chip.

sory if this sounds as i dont know what i am on about!!
cheers everyone
