tech wrench b20 vtec valve clearance????

So heres the deal, I have a stock b20b bottom end with only a block guard in it. The head is a b16a out of a 99 si, it has skunk2 titanium retainers and springs in it, type R cams, also a Skunk2 pro intake, AEM high volume fuel rail and regulator, AEM V2 intake, and an msd igniton i think it has been ported and polished from last owner, Anyway heres the question,

What should i set my valve clearances at???
Also should i bother with aftermarket cam gears?? If so what ones, AEM, SKUNK2, GReddy,???? I know you cant really + or - the timing because of the clearance issue but im sure someone knows more than me... At least im hopeing.

I have heard and read a bunch of different clearances. Please help me out i have put alot of time and money into this motor, I do not want to F this all up over a few mm...

Thanks

well, first you need to clay it for the clearances, since this is a hybrid setup, there isn't going to be any guarantees here.

the valve clearances should be set at the oem requirements. i dont' know what the is off the top of my head though.

Valve clearances should be set to the camshaft spec....so OEM ITR clearances.....
