You can shave a fair bit off, i have with mine but the best bet is to speak to a experienced machinist. I read this section all the time.

ive been told by a mate in trade that he personally wouldnt go any further than 40thou absolute max , sometimes not even depending on application eg turbo , v8 , small 4cyl etc etc. it may not seem like its a big distance but it can be very unhealthy to cyl walls if its bored too much.

Some i wouldnt, such as a v8 windsor engine, if you want to check the thickness of the bores you could get it sonic tested.
