   People have used catcam 708's with the JP4 head with no problems. Use the saxo (J4) internals (valve springs and retainers etc) as they are stiffer than the C2 ones. There can be issues with clearance, but as long as you dont use too thin a head gasket you should be fine (can't remember the gasket thickness right now, but I'm sure someone will add it).
