You need to adjust the valves with the head on the block. You are going to have to take the cams out to put the head on, then when you put the cams back in you will need to re-adjust the valves. You could get them close by doing it now but since you better check after the install you might as well just do it then.

It would actually be harder trying to keep the cam gears in sync while trying to rotate them to adjust the valves.
Plus with the head on the block you have other determining factors such as timing belt tension.
