when you say "bore out the head" are you on about polish and porting the head or increasing the cylinder capacity of the block??

a 1.8 head will go straight onto a 2.0 block.  you do not have to change anything,    it is however adviasable to place the 2.0 gasket over the 1.8 head and trim the edge of the combustion chamber out to the gasket.

some enigne need it some don't  but there is potential for  the edge of upto .75mm sticking out,  managable but not optimal
