u mean like 2mm right? lol 20mm would be huge.. anyway.. you wouldnt know wat size hg to put on until the machine work is done because u never know how much they'll take off.
anyway.. a little bit of searching and CALLING places locally will find you a machine shop.
i'd suggest decking the block too... but looks like you are on a budget so you are probably gonna do just the head which i dont recommend but its your car so.. ya.. it'll probably cost roughly $200 and up depending on what needs to be done and the condition of the head.
Try Northeast Auto Machine in Hartford. They've done alot of work on 7m's. They did a full rebuild on one of my engines.
I had just a head machined once for $80 at a different machine shop.
If your engine had a BHG or you aren't completely sure the block surface is perfect have it machined too, otherwise you'll end up with another BHG soon.

I got my head milled by Dave at Headgames Motorworks in Ewing NJ.idk if thats to far from you but dave is areally great guy and very reputable,he only charged me $60 for the resurface. heres a link to their site if your interested http://www.headgamesmotorworks.net/

Also check out EASTWOODS AUTO MACHIEN in sommers. They did a complete engine build for a friend of mine and it is rock solid. I spoke with the people there and they have worked with a number of Supra engines. They seem so profesional and are so nice. They don't even swear when their cracking jokes with you, just totaly quality work at competitive rates. This summer im taking my 7M GTE there for a blown head gasket and a check up on the lower end. www.eastwoodsautomachine.com . 860-749-2903.
