Piston to valve clearance

Post by Waffles »

So I am helping a friend plan out his motor he wants to build. I am a little worried he might have an issue with piston to valve clearance with his cam/piston choice. Is there a way to calculate it before wo order parts, or will we just have to wait until we get parts and clay the motor?

Setup:
B18a/b block, crank, rods
B16b pistons
B16a head
Bisi 2 or 2.3 cam

Edit: before you judge the setup, it's not the full list, just the information I feel would be needed for the math.
