having consulted the oracle as always there is theory and practice,you CAN skim the head if needed.therefore i repeat myself ,remove the doner head and get it checked .do it once, do it right.
But the donor head is good, and has not suffered HG failure?

you still have to remove the head from the doner engine at some point ! you cant do any damage removing a head, only when you fit it.

What would it cost just to have the donor one checked ?? in time and money .. just to be sure ??  

Would avoid tremendous angst if, and I know its a big if, there were actually a problem with it.

Surely worth a day or two to check it ..

my 2.7 p's (inc VAT)

I think Tunnie paid around £40 - £50 on a 4pot head recently....

I have driven the donor engine, and have no reason to think the head has a problem.
