I would try to stick with the same series head though.

milled .002" off the cap and head, bore out to 35mm, typical align bore and hone.........
Just like you do on V8 bottom ends, esp. when adding 4 bolt splayed main caps on the center 3 mains..........
If your really picky, you'll do the bore/hone with the heads or torque plates installed to simulate the stress the block sees.....

NOT interchangeable unless speced..........
please folk.........each head is different, yes you can get lucky with normal tolerances...........but the one time it is tight, wipes away the oil, locks a cam and 3-4 valve heads take out 4 pistons..........
was it really ------- worth it?
