Default Head Lift?

I have a 1990 integra, I am almost ready to get everything in the car, but I was wondering if Head Lift would be a big issue. My motor is bone stock and has 120,000 miles on it, I am going to run 8 to 10 psi on it.

yeap, any aftermarket head stud will prevent you from lifting your head, but I'd rather blow a headgasket and not worp my head!

screw it you'll be fine. get the car tuned properly and just dont detonate. if the motor is healthy and all that i wouldnt bother taking it apart right now. hell, i ran a 200k mile ls motor on 10 psi for like 15k miles and i never lifted the head or blew the gasket. the motor even overheated 2x .
