Can't see why the head not but make sure you check the water pump before you put it back together as the impellers tend to fall off like the VW's.

Kingley.

From vauxhall TIS

Note: Planing is not permitted on multivalve cylinder heads (4 valves per cylinder). These cylinder heads must never be subjected to planing under any circumstances.

So make you own mind up !
