Man, if your asking Honda Tech members to tell you if your internal clearances are good or not....I'm gonna say your in for some problems.

The valve reliefs are cut into the piston for stock diameter valves....do they have extra? Only way to know is to clay it man...do it the right way. If you do, then the day you start that motor up, you KNOW it's good. Don't forget to manually engage vtec when you clay it
