rod/stroke ratio

im building up a celica engine (3sgte) and i wana swap in a camry crank cause it will stroke it to a 2.2L. Problem is, the R/S ratio for the celica is already 1.6 something if i do the swap itl be 1.5 Im worried this might destroy my cylinder walls in high revs and cause reliability problems. Im considering buying longer rods, but how am i supoed to lift the head so that the pistons dont hit the valves. or, am i supoed to be by an even lower compression piston?. for some reason i think iv seen gasket sets that raise the head for this kind of thing. But id be raising it over 5 mm. Any suggestions?
