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

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