you have only removed 0.01 of material, or 0.254mm. so stock hg + 0.254mm

thanks for the info i added it up and get 1.624mm but im still going to measure the block just to make sure...so ill probly be going wiht a 1.5mm HG un less theres a 1.6mm HG out there
Good luck measuring into the thousandths with a tape measure, you might want to use something a little more precise.

Tape measure,yardstick WTF drugs are you guys on...........
I use a Digital Vernier, if you don't have access to precision measuring equipment err on the side of caution and go the next size up HG, 2mm is usually a safe bet and it's NOT going to make any measurable difference in performance.

Very welcome Dude!
The 2mm is usually the safe bet if not sure of dimensions and won't hurt off boost performance, I used to run a 3mm on a new head and block and that's noticable, a real dog off boost.
