Yep spot on.

It's a piece of cake to do and the parts costs is only about a fiver, just a few thin sheets of metal.

Just annoying you have to take the whole head off to do it, which isn't so quick and easy and adds many hours of labour.

You can see the sheet metal between the thin cylinder liners in that picture of his build.

And again here in between cylinder 1 and 2
