c16xe's had cams with matching part numbers (i.e it wouldnt matter where you put each cam inlet or exhaust) strange this is tho that my old x14xe had matching cams in it when i fitted my piper ones, also when i re-built my mates astra x16xel that had the same matching cams which are normally found in c16xe's... | |

had a quick look through pipers part lists now, but cannot see any distinction between c and x engines now... | |

i think it was the orque curve that improved when running the c16 cams the bhp wasnt too much | |

I've got a set of C16XE cams kicking about, I'll be able to check the lift and duration of them and let you know. | |

think the exhaust cam was different, not sure there was much difference in the inlet cam. | |

Was talking to broster about this, he says that Velos Motorsport got good results from the X16XE when running C16XE cams in the engine, but he couldn't find any info on it & details were sketchy at best... |
