Excessive oil can lead to hot spots, which leads to detonation, which leads to the condtion called "stock motor carnage pic thread y0!". The people backing CP pistons surmise too much oil getting on the intake side of the pistons heats the piston until it melts the (now-removed) thin section around the reliefs.
In other words, you'll be much more limited by that oil than the gas or pistons or turbo. Worst case, you'd have to find another head that was known to work fine. They are all of $150 for one in that condition.
