I say you should get a 4AG headgasket, to avoid hot spots in the head. Like I said before, the reason the gaskets are different, is because the 16V head flows water differently than the 4/7AFE/20V. The gaskets will all fit, more or less, but the way the coolant flows is the big difference. You'll notice right away when you put the head on the block that you'll probably need to do something about the water inlet/outlet. The 4/7AFE/20V has both inlet/outlet on the back of the head, while the 4AG typically has one by the water pump, and one in the back of the head. Get what I'm saying?
