As far as I know, the only place to get the steel one is through the dealer. You would normally use the same as what you already have, but it cant hurt to measure your piston protrusion first. By the book, you aren't supposed to remachine the head, but I have taken off a few thousands to get a nice smooth surface without any problems. Maybe someone else will chime in here, but I wouldn't go more than .005 off the head, unless you are regrinding the valve seats, then its a different story.
