Re: [DML] Head assemblies

I will definitely be looking into this process as well as having them planed
flat. I guess I was just being overly cautious thinking of just replacing
them, but this isn't anything new, and certainly for the price I should give
it a try.

Is anyone aware of the maximum amount (in microns) that you can shave off
these things before you are going to run into problems? I'm not sure how
badly they are warped, so that might be the only issue.

Has anyone ever warped the block due to overheating? I'm wondering if I need
to check that too.
