Only way to find out is to whip the head off and inspect. I'd say new piston rings or valve stem seals would be a lot easier than an engine change - also you will be getting a similarly aged engine which will possible get the same problems... | |

My sump is weeping actually, plus there are traces of oil seeping from the head gasket yet no signs of oil in the water, neither is it using any! On full throttle it does throw out some smoke and oil consumption is pretty major when cruising at 130:lol: | |

So you can use the whole sump gasket set from the XEV? Or do you need stuff from the XE gasket set too? Would prefer a rubber gasket to a chocolate one really. | |

Surely fitting a new gasket in the sump is a lot easier than changing the engine :o | |

Looking for another XE engine for my Corsa, if its a single belt, can it be converted to a double for the power steering? |
