Have same problem
Steve, as you have a spare car/engine, I'd suggest using another cylinder head. The original head can be fixed, but I don't know at what cost, and the other issue is warping, it may need skimming, and a number of valves/seats/guides replacing, not just one. It can get very expensive, quickly!!
To use the spare car's cylinder head we need to know if it's AJ26 (Model year?) and the model year of the project car's engine (AJ27?) Because there is one difference in the two cylinder heads, i.e. the cam position sensors. The 26 has one, the 27 has two, so, you might need to swap an intake camshaft.....

Omg, this is the same problem I am going with my 2000 Vanden Plas N/A
