You cannot use a 2.0L head. The best one to get for your engine is an early Opel C16XE cylinder head. They have much better ports than the later engines. They can be found in the Opel Corsa B Gsi 16v.

The cylinder head of Corsa B Gsi 16v will match 100%?! That's the only cylinder head that can match my engine?! 10x

the 1.8/2.0 engines are bigger in overall size as well not only displacement.
