Look up Davis Diesel Conversion Heads, they do heads for a vast range of
engines.

Many people are using these heads and they are very good.

The advantage of converting a modern glow to diesel is...
better performance and better carbi control as opposed to older style
diesel engines. Most glow engines just need the head conversion and
don't need any other modifications... you will find that you probably
only need to open the throttle to 3/4 for full revs as the diesel is
more efficient and uses less fuel.

Have a look on rc-universe in the forum... everything diesel, there
you will be among people who know what they are doing and will be able to
help you.
