[QUOTE="snakebit95, post: 556449, member: 11394"] .100" off the heads is quite a bit. I suggest you check piston to valve clearance with that kind of change.

The only way to know for sure by how much, is the cc the chambers on the heads after the machining work is complete. Have you considered the impact of head port alignment to the intake ports as well?
