Roman, regarding question on 2.3L head on 2.0L block

First of all thanks for your response to my earlier post, I am going to re-check the valve timing first thing this morning. I've had the timing off by a tooth before also with similar symptoms, but it was smoother just off power.
As for fitting the 2.3 head to my engine I didn't have to do anything special as it is from a '91 engine. In my research I learned you can use up to an early '93 with no problem, but after that they shortened the block so if you were to try a 2.3 head from those engines there is other work you need to do. What that work is I do not know.
What I am looking for with this head is much better flow. I've read several times the 2.3 head flows better than a ported 2.0, so since the cost of repair on mine was going to run close to what I spent on this head I decided to get this one.
I'll let you know how this goes. I expect to have this situation resolved today.
