Modifying B18D head to B18B specs. 120-130 1967

I have a 1967 122S with a B18D motor.
Since I am planning on sending the head out to a machine shop to be checked-out, are there any problems having the head milled to 86.2mm (B18B spec.) from 88mm (B18D spec.)
Also thinking this would be a good time to have harden valve seats installed.
Is there anything else to upgrade, like maybe B20 style valve guides with the improved valve guide seals ?? ....

Thanks all
Peter
