Shims
If you didn't mill the surfaces between cambox and head, you haven't done anything to change the valve clearances. So theoretically if the clearances were right before they still are and you don't need to do anything.
But that's theory. In practice, you should measure the clearances anyways. It's so easy when you have the head out on the bench that it would be silly not to; and you don't know for sure that the clearances were right before.
Replace any shims that show any sign of unusual wear or are less than glass-smooth on their contact face, of course. And check out Chris Obert's advice on shims here.
