Default milled head with auto tensioner

Yes I am aware that the tensioner conversion has been covered many times but Im going to be starting my car with the auto tensioner installed. I have milled the head .025". Will there be an issue with the auto tensioner with this much mill? I know it isn't much but heard that there may be problems with the auto tensioner and milled heads. Thanks

I dont think you should have any problems. Guess you wont really know till you try.

My head was milled .020" and the tensioner went out after about 3 months. At the same time I put in Crower Stage 2 cams. I had to take the head off and have all the valves checked. I highly recommend a manual setup like what is on the H23.
