   Just had my head refurbed but think i may have dropped a booboo!
   
   Rallye inlets are 00 00 arent they? And silver tops are 0 0 0 0 arent they?
   
   Also im rebuilding my valver too, but wanting to use an 8v block as my 8v block is a minter. Is all i have to do change the crank pulley and drill a 19mm hole for the oil return?

   the 8v pistons, on an 8v head make lower compression also.
   change the pistons, as Blackie has said.
