Re: GX engine.

As other listers have verified when I inquired on this issue several
months ago, 1.8 8V CIS heads are interchangeable (may have to change
injector inserts from air-shroud to non, depending on year of car.)

The JH, GX, MZ, HT and RD motors all use the same head gasket.

However, 1.6/1.7L heads will not work without modifications to oil
returns (likewise 1.8L heads will not work on 1.6/1.7L blocks without mods
to oil returns.)
