If you mean .005, 5 thousandths yes. But .05, or 5 hundreds is not very little and will make ju-ju. Mine are cut, maybe a litle too much but I used Cometic gaskets to make sure I had clearance. I will try to post all the info in a couple hours.
*disclaimer* you should always check your clearance first, onus is on the owner not on me for stating that it worked for me!

I would say yes, also depends on your gaskets thickness.
Stock compressed is .054-.056", so if you go with stock gaskets, you should be good. I My heads, PP2 were milled a total of .015" or about that. The Cometic gasket is .065" so it makes up for some of the milling and have no issues with P2V on stock uncut pistons. There are other gaskets available, and thicknesses should be easy enough to get from "search" in this section. Good luck.
