With skimming, you want to remove as little as possible, just really to remove the crap on the face and make sure it's 100% flat...
Make sure you get a proper multi layer steel gasket, don't bother with those motorfactors fibre shit... It'll last about 30 seconds... And if the surface of the head isn't flat, with an MLS gasket, it'll definitely pop the gasket quick, or even not seal, they can be a bit funny about sealing at times...
Speak to your engineering place and ask them to get you a proper Elring or Victor Reinz or similar Multi Layer Steel gasket, they'll also advise you on how many notches, knowing how much they took off the head to return it to standard, or you can leave it and have a slight increase in CR, or decrease with the HG - up to you... Don't accept no substitutes
