How much can safely be milled off the top of the block, while retaining block strength? Thanks

My guess: More than an inch off an iron 225 block.

I have taken .150 off the block deck, no problems.
Remember that the Alm 225 has *no* top deck but yes, those have head gasket sealing problems.

One little trick is to plug deck holes, flip the block up-side-down and use some block filler to help back-fill the deck area. (just an inch or so thick, it get's real hot up there so don't get crazy with the filler)
