I think it would have to be warped to the extreme to effect the cam alignment after milling. None of the ones I have had milled have ever developed a cam problem. There is a limit to what can be milled off if it is really cooked (but I do not know what the limit is).

The other side of the coin it that if it is warped beyond acceptable limits (again I do not know what the out of plane tolerance is) and you do not have it milled you can marginalize the chances of having the new headgasket last.

I did not read any previous posts on your problem. Unless you overheated the engine chances are the head will be fine, but you still will want to have it checked to be sure before putting the effort into replacing the headgasket.
