i would advise againt it.
your local repco will have one, at a reasonable price. I think mine was about $8

Be careful when installing it. it can fit two ways - the wrong way will block off an oil passage feeding to the head

im good with typo's haha.
Have you called an auto store to price it up?

I have had similar experiences with ebay valve regrind sets (VRS) and ones sourced from repco, and I've tried a few headgaskets from suziworld.

I have found they all required a retorque, which isn't such an issue in an 8v engine, but sucks in the 16v, as the cam shaft needs to come out.
Besides that, no other problems.

Always use brand name heagaskets or genuine.
I stick with velpro gaskets and spray on holamar (sp)
