nooooooooooooo i wouldend use streched head bolts i would use strech head bolts or zvh head bolts you can get them from burton power
you still need to lower the compression either a decom plate as you said or i would remove the pistons and have 0.5 skimmed off the top as its a 1.8 zetec it bhas thicker crowns unlike the 2.0 where skimming is not realy advised
hope this helps
