the timing belt tensioner will automatically compensate for difference in height. are u trying to get higher compression or flatten it?

b16 pistons with a milled head is gonna be a bad choice. I would go with one or the other.

I personally wouldnt bother milling the head, your better off going aftermarket for hi compression pistons through cp or je , wiseco. or u can do a ls-vtec setup and scrap the ls head. up to you GL.
