	i dunno what i'd be lookin for dave :( i have cams and i want to get a c16xe head :(

	the x16xe and x16xel head and cams are different (well one of the cams anyway) also on the x16xel there are no cut-outs in the piston for the valve clearance as one of the cams has a shorter lift. this isnt on all x16xel's tho, ive seen 2 like this and others the same as the x16xe. asked vaux about it once and the confirmed that this is the case. if you remove the cam cover and get a torch down plug holes you might be able to see which one you have

	pistons dont make a difference... but to be short, the cams will fit and work
