Default Valve clearance

Ok i have these parts
*B16a1 head with 30 thou skimmed off it)
*B16a1 block
*b16b pistons
*b16a rods
*s2s2 cams
*AEM cam gears
*cometic 0.030 head gasket

I have worked my c/r out to be 11.81.1

Will i be able to set it to standard timing settings with out the valves
touching the pistons?

It will be going to be RR tuned asap, i just wana make sure it'll start and
run fine to get there.

well you should i belive set them to spec even with stock cams. i did on my car and it runs fine. and if your valves touch your pistons you have other problem like tbelt advanced a tooth or more or even retarded a tooth or 2. im sure its too spec. if not you wouldnt be using the cams to there potental.

oh by the way did you clay the head to make sure they werent going to hit anyway before you did a final assembly. did you relief the pistons at all for the valves. if you didnt clay it i sure would to make sure it doesnt rattle rattle and not run.
