Default Going LSVTEC - Any Problems with Keeping Current Pistons?

I've got a LS turbo right now with eagle rods and SRP 9.2:1 pistons. I am building up my lsvtec setup. Will I have any clearance problems between the valves and these pistons?

Thanks...

Not sure on aftermarket, but on the ls pistons the valve reliefs are to small for the vtec valves and the valves will hit the pistons.You might want to make sure they will clear. But i thank the reliefs are the same on aftermarkets.

Not Really. Unless your running a crazy high lift cam. Its the b20 pistons that i would worry about.

Thanks for the comments... Anyone else? My new valvetrain will be here soon and I want to make sure this setup will be alright.

Bump for soon-to-be lsvtec turbo!
