It's most likely cheaper and easier to just convert to some 2.2 heads or even 2.2S heads.

The head gasket type is different. See my post on converting a 2.2 to a 2.0 on this forum. I still haven't gotten an answer on which head gaskets or modifications would be required.

Hopefully someone knows,

In an other post , someone told me to put a head of 2.2 instead of modify my 2.0 head to put larger valves like 2.0 S .

what is the overall goal?
Thor, to put it another way, why do you want to put in larger valves? Do you have a HP target in mind that you are trying to get to? If so, you may be able to get there without changing the valves. Or it may make more sense (HP/$) to just convert to a 2.2.

The options are endless.
