as i have been lead to beleive {by multiple reliable sources} as the engines got newer the cams got wilder, but i know for a fact that the comp ratio went down, as did the power unfortunately,
i dont know for a fact that the cams will hit, the best way to find out is {if u already have the engine apart}, put some blutack/playdoh ect on the top of the piston, put the head back on {remember to use a HG, but use the old one or else the new one will be fucked} line up the cam timing correctly, remove the plugs for easier spinning and slowly turn the engine over, if it spins freely then its fine, if there is a bit of resistance when one of the postons come to TDC then the valves are hitting the blutack, turn it over a few times to make sure its all good, pull the head off and measure how deep the playdoh is to work out the clearance.
I have no idea what the acceptable limit is.
btw, dont forget to lube the playdoh so it doesnt stick to the valves and lift off the piston
