The best bet would be to save it till you get everything together.

by mill they mean take surface off bottom of head, to move top of combustion chamber down, increasing comp. dont go too much or slack in timing belt. others will know how many thousandths you can go safely

I would say yes. If you dont know how to do it yourself head work is VEEERRYYYYY expensive. I would know but oh so worth it.

Good Luck, and dont settle for the first machine shop you find, ask around with people who have had experienec with them, etc. Go to one that knows what they are doing!
