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.

These are a good engine, just have this head dowel/ overheating issue, fix with steel dowels and forget

Many more miles left in it yet jim!
