Are you talking about a ZVH conversion?
if so then they will be fine, you don't even have to skim them to give a CR of about 8.3:1 and fine upto 20psi as a engine i built for someone is running fine and has been for 2k miles.
If is for a Zetec Turbo then the CR is a bit to high and world surgest a thick copper head gasket

Bring on the 650+Bhp 4x4 monster
