i guess its stupid question , but i have a 88 1300 that could do with a unwarped head...any chance of me using this, as i noticed the gasket is listed for 1100/1300

unfortunatley this one is of no use to you as it from an injection engine and has no fittings for a mechanical fuel pump(sorry I didn't check the link before my last post)

the mk3 1043cc head is also a "small valve" head. The inlet valves are iirc 4mm smaller in diameter when compared to any of the other small block engines of the time (including the mk2 1043 which has a normal sized valve head too)
