Hmm, possibly.

heres the link but your clearances may be different as you are fitting to a 1.8 block

peugeot do the 1.2mm MLS STD head gasket but dont do a 1.4mm repair as MLS you will have to use the fibre type from the XU10J4

0.2mm? I don't have anything that could measure that accurately tbh!
How do they make a smaller capacity with the same size bore for the 1.8 though? I know the block is ally but must be the same dimensions if you can swap on the GTi head? So is it just a different head...and if so, that'd make the tolerances the same right?
