ahwell my mistake, never knew probably because they are very rare.

Aye, theres COSCAST dizzy and dispak heads. There different as the dispak ones have two bolt hole lugs on the side of the head for the dispak mount.

The late coscast heads are very rare, and said to be the best of all std xe heads by a lot of people.

Late XE with Coscast head for mee :cool:

The very very early ones had metal plug covers

Second one isn't a standard plug cover. Late engines can also have Coscast heads.

thanks one last question do the early ones have certain plug covers out of the 2? eg http://www.topbuzz.co.uk/mods/2Lconversion/b002.jpg / http://www.xstyle.co.uk/media/DIR_55497/Engine~20XE~04~-~13-01-06~x.jpg

or is that purely just what vauxhall slapped on it at the time

yes

thought so. in regards to the cambelt i thought early engines (which obviously need an early cambelt on them) had rounded teeth and the late ones had square? is this right?

what are all the ways you can tell if a c20xe is the early/ late version of the engine?
