Gentlemen,
I see that you can buy complete Head overhaul kits for various Series engines, such as this one on Ebay. Land Rover Series Engine Cylinder Head Overhaul Kit (RTC5523) | eBay (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/391323641569?ul_noapp=true)

Seems a great way to do it which everything in the Kit.

However I cannot find one that is meant for a 2 litre spread bore. Does anyone who if one exists?

Or can anyone tell me what parts from this kit could be used with my engine as they are common? It seams a good way to buy values, strings, seals ands guides, even if the head gaskets doesn't fit.

Many thanks
jeff

The Land Rover Series One club in the UK have gasket sets and heaps of other parts as well.

As for that other kit you would have to sit there with two parts books and compare numbers to see if anything fits.

Yes, I appreciate that the Head Gasket will be very different, but does anyone know if the valves, seats, guides and strings are the same in siamese & spread bore 2 litre engines?

thanks
Jeff
