The only difference between the 2.0 and 2.2 heads is the rocker arm assy.
The 2.0 has ajustable rockers, the 2.2 has hydraulic lifters in the rockers. You also have to use a 2.2 head gasket, otherwise you'll starve the rockers for oil. Unless you have a set of 2.2 rockers that you know are trouble free, I'd stick with the 2.0!!! Trust me on this one... took me 4 months and plenty of $$$ to get it worked out.
