Default milled head w/ ctr cams

Im going to mill my head .030. I have a stock jdm gsr block. I also have a ctr intake cam. Will i have clearance issues? Im thinking not because the ctr cams have such little lift.

actually playdough is not good to use because it expands after it is compressed by the valves...there is a specific type of clay that needs to be used

Remember too when you mill the head or put a different thickness head gasket it retards(thicker) or advances(thinner or milled) your cam(s).

Someone posted how much timing is changed per a .010 a while back but I cant find it.

So i heard someone say if you advance it 2 degrees you can possibly get piston to valve slap? So if it retards the timing 2 degrees and i advance it two degrees to get it back to 0,0 will i risk damage to my head or pistons? I plan on bring it to the dyno to get re tuned once the head and everything is slapped back together
