If i remember right the 285 is equivalent to the kent cams bcf3 so no you should be ok without piston mods.
Will have a look and see if i can find any info to confirm.

If you are fitting a new cam then it would make sense to check the valve to piston clearance before trying to start the engine especially if you are
using 1300 pistons to raise the compression. . Recommended procedure is to use plastecine to check . Thick solder wire through the plug hole and
rotating the engine a few times worked for me so no need to dismantle again. If you follow my method don't blame me for any problems
