Is there any way I can tell how much a dove casting head has been milled?

CC the chamber(s)...

Not sure how to do it but just by cc' ing heads wont tell that much because of variances in castings.

That being as it may.....you should be able to tell any appreciable differance.....

There is a pad on the side that is usaully a certain depth to began with. I read this on Scott's site Reincarnation-automotive .com . Go there for the measurement or maybe Scott or somebody will help,,, good luck.

True, but I assume he is not wanting to know "just to know" but because he is trying to figure out compression or something along those lines. However, I don't know why he is wanting to know so...

Theres a half moon pad on the deck of the head towards the ex. side that measures about .110" roughly when the heads are uncut. Just lay a known straight edge across the surface and measure with feeler gauges. Are you having trouble fitting the intake?

If I remember correctly the D0VE heads had a stock CC of something like 72CC's....??? CC the chamber and it figures out to something like 2 CC's per .005" or .010" cut off, it's been so long I can't remember....sorry. But that's how you figure it.

Stock D0VE has closer to 75-77ccs.

I have a set of heads I bought last year that are milled a bunch I came up with about .125 thousands and a .100 thousands on the other comparing to the heads that I have that are not milled. I already used the half moon method but didn't no if this was wright. So what would the cc be of the chamber?
