Be wise, spend the extra cash on a nice set of aftermarket low comp pistons, and be done with it..
OEM honda ringlandings == Not very strong

do it right the 1st time or do it 5 more times
Generally the intake valve reliefs are the issue
On most f/i bseries applications there is no need to touch the intake cam timing.
My turbo ls/vtec has been making 280-320 whp depending on boost levels for around a year now. Perfect compression & leak down results to this day.
Exhaust cam timing at -4 deg w/out valve clearance issues...
