I have had 2 engines running BD14s and both had valve cut outs.
I was told you can run standard pistons but have to advance the cam timing!!!
Whats spec of your engine??

You could get valve bounce at high rpm which could make valves hit pistions.

thats what i was told to buy ,thats why i am stuck now as he has rebuilt the engine now ,so its either put normal cams back or take out the pistons
but i was thinking if the cams worked (bd14) i might get away with it

If it was me and id spent the money on what you have already bought i would go BD10 route.
