I would definately not run XE-R lobes with 1.8 rockers. That is asking valvetrain problems.

Rather then cut the heads too much I would opt for a thinner gasket that will allow more timing to be introduced without detonation. I would just skim the heads to ensure the surface will be fine enough for a Cometic gasket so whoever does the milling must have the right equipment and take the pass slow.
