Default zvh headgasket??????????? conversion questions???? help plz

i have a 2.0 zvh engine removed from an rs turbo & i am doin the headgasket before i fit it into my xr2.

do i just use a standard rs turbo headgasket????????? or is there a special one for the zvh?

also im unsure what pistons are fitted in it, if they are standard zetec ones can i have them skimmed them down 2 lower the compression?????

also a pic of the engine mount modification would be helpfull if any1 has it or a link to a webiste showing how 2 do conversion?

cheers

the only gasket to use for those is a felpro one because of the bore size and mis-match of a CVH head.

I have the correct gasket for the job i believe if you are looking to buy one......
