93 cummins Advancing Timing
#3
As long as your stock everything, I'd seriously doubt that you could hurt anything.
Advanced timing is going to increase cylinder pressures and put more heat into the piston; it makes a given amount of boost more likely to pop a gasket and it makes a certain EGT more likely to melt a headgasket. If you're only pushing 20 PSI and 1000 degrees in the first place, advanced timing is going to result in severe power loss and acceleration lag before it hurts anything.
