Measurements for stock un-machined 3200 head?

Hi Guys

The PO machined the head by an unknown amount previously. The factory manual states a maximum of 0.2mm is allowed so does anybody have the measurements of a untouched head?

Id like to get base measurements in order to figure out if I should be looking at another set of heads or fix what I have

Thanks

3200GT right?
I am fairly sure i have measurements noted down somewhere, but i can't seem to find them.
The heads you have now are already machined and straight?

Yes, 3200GT

They were machined by the PO sometime between 2015-2017 before being parked till I bought her last week

Currently, the heads look like this

Plan A is finding replacement heads, plan B is weld the rust spots and resurface them again however factory manual says 0.2mm max and I'm unsure how much PO removed

Those are very rough, in theory after cleaning your machinist could judge if they can be welded and refinished.
That said you'll have thinner heads than stock, which isn't that huge a issue you'll need to calculate compression (which is very low from factory)
Also how bad are your cylinder sleeve tops?

We've built engines like that, it's certainly doable you will need to realign camshafts as that's going to be off unfortunately your 32 doesn't yet have the veneer style cam gears but there is a adjustment possible.
You will have higher compression unless you do custom head-gaskets (i've had to do that before on builds where we compensated with a thicker MLS head-gasket)

Oh wow, that is some nasty corrosion! As you mentioned before, living in the desert doesn't mean you don't need to use coolant!
