RAVE states, in a big bold note, that "Cylinder heads may not be refaced".

Does anyone know the veracity of this statement ? Is this just a commercial plot to force us in buying new heads or is there a technical reason behind this ?

The heads crack, so removing material may weaken them leading to premature failure.
