Default Piston to valve clearance?.. Dumb question :/

hey.. when i did my head gasket, i forgot to line it up at #1 TDC before i pulled the Tbelt/head.

So, when i bolted the cams back in (bolted them in so that valves open were with pistons that were down) the timing was off.

Now.. I turned the crank as i turned the cams.. (yeah a bit of each one each time) and got everything lined up... (so i thought)

intake came was 180deg out.. But exhaust was on the money.

I turned the intake cam slowly with my hand, and it turned real easy. Now its a gsr block/ctr head.. So pistons arent domed, and im running a 0.072" headgasket.. almost twice stock.

Now.. i hightly doubt id beable to bend the valves by turning the camshaft with my hand.. Right?

Hmm.. to me for not setting it when i pulled it.
