Default what piston goes with what head

hi my other half is trying to rebuild his 1.6 cvh engine and we are having problems with the head.
we have a set of flat pistons and a kidney shape head but have been told they wont fit but someone else said they would.
we have 3 types of pistons flat ones, a set with one lump on and a set with 2 lumps on. then we have 2 heads one with kidney shape and the other one with just round shape.
so what will go with what as have been told if you put the flat ones with the kidney shape you will get low compression.
what do you think??????

id go with the hemi head ( round combustion chamber) .. the flat pistons sound more like turbo ones so if it was me id go with the ones with the two raised areas but hard to say without looking at what youve got
