if these conditions are met, you don't have problems normally.

Agreed, if you bought the head and the cam caps are from another head you have issues, you would have to pull the head take it to a machine shop and have them line bore it. It is so important to torque the head correctly, there is a torquing sequence for the cam caps and you need a torque wrench and you need to properly torque the bolts on. the only way your cams would hit the cam caps is they are the wrong cam caps or they were torqued wrong.
