they'll fine as long as your clearances have been checked. it's not like you're going to spinning around at 8000+ all day long rite?

did you measure out your valve to valve and piston to valve clearance?

yah, should be fine. you should be more worried about the valvesprings if anything but you already have that covered with the crower springs.

edit - your crower valvetrain should be able to handle it, but i'm not saying your bottom end can.

your stock valves will be fine.
i ran civic type r pistons in my b16a in my crx.
the valve to piston clearance was good. its still running strong 2 years later.

like they said, dont rev it up to high. you'll shove the piston through the wall or brake a rod, the B20's have a big stroke ratio

I wouldn't recommend putting anything into a cylinder that isn't meant to be in there.
Could place the head on the block without the camshafts, without the headgasket headbolts or anything connecting it to the block, and slowly rotate the crank and see if the head raises/moves any.
I had a friend do it this way, kinda ghetto.
