LQ4 piston to valve clearance

I have A 02 lq4 I did a cam swap and didnt check the ptv clearance, the engine is all together and installed in the car but still have a bunch of work left to get it running. The heads havent been milled and has the stock dished
pistons the cam I used has 230/236 duration @50 611/612 lift and 116 lsa

Do you think I will have problems with ptv clearance?

Thats what I wanted to hear the timming chain is installed correctly so I dont have to worry about that.

What is the largest cam that has been installed in a stock LQ4?
