1.8t head gone

Ok so my brother can’t get any local garages to look at his car, so in the past we have rebuilt a rover 800 engine but what’s throwing him now is if any liners have dropped what to do then ?
Thanks

Your racing ahead there as you haven't fully diagnosed the problem but if the liners are low you can actually buy shim kits
I have linked Rimmers Bros but a google search will give you plenty of alternatives

A description of your problems would help give better advice as K series head gaskets go in a number of ways including , elastomer failure ,which cross contaminates fluids, Fire ring failure ,which pressurises the coolant, Has the car had an history of head gaskets ?
The big question is has the car boiled up and had a serious overheat ? as that is usually the cause of sunken liners

Thanks will point him to this thread and tell him to update the facts on it
