At .060 make sure its plate honed as well.
I was surprised at this because I here of guys going .060 over quite often...but to the OP I would trust this guy's advice over most anyone in regards to engine block machining .
Thats why we sonic test them and I have some that I know Won't go .060 over but if you think they are OK I guess it makes a big differance.
