Make sure you have the pistons pocketed for the valves.

Out of interest what engine have you got in your corsa? 2ltr or 1.6?

the engine is 1600... dont need to worry about the pockets the crown heights of the pistons is right. These Arias pistons have been designed especially for the daewoo 1600 16v conversion
