Ive just unwrapped my stored head, and i realise ive been looking at this all wrong!
For some reason i had remembered there being a round recess around the valves - not that the head was flat directly across the top of the cylinder.
This makes it all make sense - so long as the valves are somewhere below the head face, it IS only the piston protrusion that matters.
So, it doesn't matter what head is fitted, you just keep the same gasket that was on the block prior, right?
(ps, i know the head looks sandy in the shot above - who knows why - its been wrapped in oily tissue and then cling film for the past couple of years)
