Default warped heads

If you warp an aluminum head can it be fixed or milled straight?

Depends on how much it is out, the more you mill the closer the valves get to the pistons, there is loads of vairables to take int consideration...............Go to a machine shop and get them to check how much it is out.........If its lots it can reduce the chamber size imensly, the lower the comb chamber the higher the compression ratio will be on the engine, as well the valves will be closer, if y ou are running a big or med cam you should check piston to valve clearance before you reinstall
