I thought the oil galley was HUGE on the 16V block and smaller on the 8V.  
Wait a min, I've got both blocks sitting in my garage RIGHT NOW.  I only woke 
up this early to check weather at the beach to go surfing... but I'll check.  
Hold on!..........OK i'm back.  I was wrong.  I mated up my 2.0L 16V head 
gasket to a 1.8liter JH block.  The oil galley was the same size.  The 
difference I saw was the two holes on each outermost side of cylinder's 1 and 
4 did not match up correctly.  I'd say they're off by like 2mm.  Doesn't look 
like that much of a difference to me.  Anywho, glad I could help!!!  :-)
P.S.-Anybody want a JH block? $100 no ship but will consider delivery in NC.  
I've got a good head for it too! Its been beheaded for about 3 years so I'd 
suggest a hone & new bearings while ur in there.  Cylinder walls are great 
with minimal ridge.
