Only one piston is mounted to check the valves clearance, so the head must be removed and then the final assembly done.
To temporarily mount a cylinder head and to deposit it, it's fast, the difficulty is to modify the pistons if the control isn't good, that's why it's better to know the valves lift curves before ordering the pistons.
