I have Tomei Procams 260/260, BC valve springs and plan on using the stock headgasket. My concern is the piston to valve clearance. Any of you guys run a similar set up? Will this be safe. Maybe I'm just paranoid because I've seen one too many times of pistons hitting a valve. So I just want to know if I'll have enough clearance running these cams while still using the stock hg.

The only way the piston will hit the valve is if the valve timing is off. however i would suggest a headgasket anyway, its cheap insurance and your halfway there just putting the cams in.
