Dunno I was lookin for engine refurb info on the net and couldn't find much thats why thought would ask. Before I start, luckily my engine won't be going in for a while so I will be able to spend lots of time on it :thumbs:

Ok mate cool, just wondered if there were any specific areas that can need attention on the XE engine that I didn't know about.

Haynes do a good manual on everything to do with rebuilding a car.

It's called... a Haynes Manual :!

Which engine is it?


Oh hardy ha! I know what a Haynes Manual is ,

:lol:

Its a C20XE, just wondered if anyone did a best practice type thing of things to do when freshening up an engine.

I have done a 1.6 8v and a 1.6 16v before just replacing all gaskets seals, re-seating valves, new shells etc. Just wondered if there was anywhere that does a guide before do the 2ltr
