Look where the box mates up the block may be dirty so give it a wipe (it is on the block, obviously) Should clearly say X16XEL | |

So vauxhall had loads of x14xe heads and inlets laying around and loads of x16xe bottom ends laying around, needed an engine for the Astra Mk3 so went "ahh ha, I know, we will bolt these two together!" | |

quote: wrong quote: wrong- thats the z16xe x16xel has a x16xe bottom end with a x14xe head/inlet so has smaller ports on the inlet and inlet cylinder head makes 6bhp less in standard form over the x16xe due to this, but i guess makes better low torque torque | |

yer iirc they cylinder head has smaller ports and is more or less the same as the x14xe one. Im am sure one of the small block buffs will clear it up :look: | |
