0.6mm is standard size. If they take 1mm off then your 1.6mm will be spot on. Ask them how much they have taken off to give you a guide.

You will know if you have the right size when you go to bolt your inlet manifold down. If you have the wrong size the bolt holes won't line up!

were they warped or did you do it just for a clean up, i think they usually take about 20 thou off which is nearly 0.5mm, obviously more if needed
