So the head gaskets should be the same apart from bore diameter.

List should say 1.6/2.0l.

Yes the heads are interchangeable some tuners when porting the head would use a 1600 head on a 2000 to get a better flow rate there thinking being that the ports were too big on the 2.0 L and some turners recommended using the 2.0 L injection head as it has apple shaped ports as I’ve never had a injection head off I don’t know if that is correct.
