Head milling

Hi all,
Does .006 taken off the block side of the head necessitate milling of the intake on a 351w? Any feedback is much appreciated.

.006 isnt much at all. Most shops do .010" for cleanup.

You have to go deeper than .040 before anything else needs milling, and even then, nothing may need doing on a small block Ford
