In the cooling thread it seems that using the early gasket on the VVT heads actually blocks off some cooling ports. Thought someone actually punched holes in one to make it work.

If you're getting forged pistons, then yes bore out for larger ones for a 1.9 build, why not.
As for the HG, as 18psi said, go for the '94-00 HG. But read below.

I know for sure Emilio said that at least a couple times.

Pretty sure somewhere in that thread he said that the internet is saying '01+reroute is dangerous, but they've done a few enduros with that combo with no issue. I'm hopefully not wrong saying that.

This x10. I'd be worried if they say they don't do performance mods, yet they're suggesting you bore over .02"? Also clean the bores out with a new towel and degreaser until the towel comes away clean.
