I would prefer that to machining, but they're at the machinist now, so I guess I'm going to have to be happy with that.

You could do that but then change the CR. Shaving the housing will work, just make damn sure the chains are new and are ok.

The heads were already shaved, so wouldn't he be going back to where he wanted? Otherwise, I agree if all was stock.
