now for legit SE-R content - what are the concerns with decking the head on an SR20?

>> FSM's stated limit of 0.2mm/0.008in on decking, though no
 particular reason was given. Potential issues I can think of include chain
 tension, water-jacket clearance and combustion-chamber height. <<

The issue with the chain is not that the tension will be off, but that the
timing will be retarded a little bit, which may favor high RPM output just a
_little_ over low RPM output.
The water jacket clearance?  What's that?
The volume of the combustion chamber will be a little bit smaller, as will
the piston to valve clearance.  You will gain a little bit of compression
ratio from this, but probably not more than .5:1.

Overall, if the motor is now running fine, you should have nothing to worry
about.
