LS vtec cammed -- piston Q

Re: LS vtec cammed -- piston Q
The deck height of the 1.8L's are the same, however the intake valve relief differs, Vtec valves being 33mm diameter, non-vtec are 31mm.
You did a great thing by getting the spring sets (and retainers to keep things in play as well as weight reduction - but I bet your running stock keepers? It seems the majority always forgets those little nifty things that keep the retainers on, thus keeping your springs in place).
BUT. The duration/lift on those cams ARE aggressive -enough- to where clearance will likely be an issue or damn close (close enough to defeat the purpose of using a Vtec head). Thats even with a 0,0 gear setting (you -do- have atleast an intake adjustable cam gear I hope though get both).

Re: LS vtec cammed -- piston Q
this motor is gonna suffer from lack of compression...
and i believe hsl are top end cams...
so the stock rod bolts should be replaced to take advantage of the cams.
