Have you checked the machining limits??? .020 (0.5mm) is a fair bit...
I would give Peter at M&D's a call and get him to look it up in his spec book.
At that depth you will have to do valve seats too.

Having just read this thread it reminded me of what a great place this forum is.

I'm a relatively new starter to all this myself, can't agree more with Whippy. The camaraderie and nous I find across this entire website
is out of this world ... Ray.
