Think about this for a minute.
A bunch of people say yes, so you throw it together.
Then 200 miles later you break a valve head off and ruin both heads (**** will go through the intake) all the pistons, a few rods, the block and maybe even the crank.
Are all those parts worth taking someones word vs actually checking?
Do you check bearing clearances, piston to wall clearance, ring end gap. Or do you just slap it together and hope for the best. PTV clearance is just like bearing clearance, you can't ask someone over the internet if yours will be ok.
