Default weird looking gsr head? HELP...

Okay heres the situation..
I inspected my gsr head and what do I find.. the valves are super close to the bottom surface of the head.. I am thinking that the owner before milled the head to extremes.. the valves are almost touching the bottom suface of the head.. Is this a milled head?

Is this safe to run on a gsr block with itr pistons and itr cams? If not, is there any way I could go around it without buying another head.. Could a thicker metal head gasket help.... Help me out guys..

Heres a picture of a almost stock gsr head.


Are you talking about the area behind the valves? the quench area?

Yes, my head almost looks just almost like the pic ^ there..

Is that normal stock or a super milled head? mines look similar to it.. Is that bad or what?

I know a little mill is good like .030mm but I dont know about having too much mill? my big valves are near the edge, like the picture that boosted hatch posted up.. so is that normal?

thanks for the info boosted hatch..

Now I feel better that all gsr heads are like mines. I was about to say that I got ripped off..

So, I got another question... Are gsr exhaust ports usually 3mm up and down?
because the guy who I bought it from clams its seen a stage 2 port but cant verify the porter or the specs. From what I seen when a head is ported the openings should look noticibly larger than before..

I compared it to the b16 head and the exhaust ports are IDENTICAL... I cant compare the intake ports because gsr and a si heads are different... Am I missing something here or did he lied to me so I would buy his head.
