Great work, it's coming along very nicely.
I peened a head which was put on a 25 and can recommend the procedure.
As long as you don't go daft with the hammer you won't need to remove much more than 10 thou. I think I removed 11 to clean it up.
You can feel the difference when preening around the ring, the exhaust side was much softer than the inlet side.

Good luck
