Hey fellas, I (think) am in need of a full head gasket set after overheating very bad to the point where the car would not drive, had to wait for couple of hours for it to cool down. Was stuck in traffic and am not running a fan 
I'm also guessing the thermostat also didn't open. I turned the heater on to dissipate some heat inside which bought me some time but eventually it was just too hot.
Next day I find plenty of engine oil in 2nd cylinder and spark plug from the Dizzy. After plugs were cleaned, turned it on and it blew some white smoke and then cleared. Fuel and coolant don't seem to be mixed from quick visual inspection.
Also noticeable is loss of engine power when car is warm. I read the thread here by teal_dx about doing the head gasket and seems pretty straight forward. So I thought might as well do the full gasket. Hopefully nothing mechanical has been damaged.
I can't find anyone apart from Dealers and auto store selling them here for nearly $400 in Oz so I looked on ebay US and a full set is about $50
My problem is that the engine I have D15Z2 SOHC 1.5l Single Carburettor, sellers are not aware of this engine and hence can't recommend any of their gaskets. Anyone know if other EG 1.5l SOHC Fuel Injected gaskets would be the same? I mean the only difference is the air/fuel delivery so all else should be same?
Would this work?

And finally, this is the heart of my beast
