Those protective pieces that go below the pushrod tubes are the same for
1.9 and 2.1 engines.  In that they're just there to protect the pushrod
tubes, they can be made from anything.

It might not be a bad idea to make a hole just below the Allen bolt that
drains the head.  That way the protective tin wouldn't have to be
removed to drain all coolant.
