Default lsvtec with PR3 pistons - how much milling with big cams?

thinking of running a lsvtec with PR3 pistons, and milling about 20 thou off the haed, this will give about 12:1 CR

will there be piston to valve clearance issues with biggish cams, like Toda B's?

cheers for any input

will just be startign off with a VAFC + chipped PR3 ecu, worked fine for my B20VTEC...

the higher compression might mean i will have to go with Hondata... but that is a longer term goal...

i think i will just clay the pistons before assembly and if required, i will cut the reliefs...

thanks all
