it will clear by alot still, i have a ls with ctr pistons that are .40 over and my head is milled down to the max. and i have skunk2 stage 3 cams and it still clears. and a LS stroke is bigger then a GSR so theres not much room for me but it still clears

yep, not much room for error, timing slips atleast 1 teeth, the whole motor is done, when i first got the pistons, i had to shave down the "in" signs on the piston because the clearance of the head was milled down so much, it left the "in" stamped onto my head, ehhehe everything clears but had to find custom valve lash settings for the valves due to the clearance

nope you wont, my CR is well over 13.2. i only got it cuz the head milled and hte stroke on the b18b. youll clear by atleast 2mm even if u had the ctrs. with the p30s pr pr3, there wouldnt even be a doubt that itll clear. there would be alot of room.
