XE's engines

E plate onwards astra GTE 16v
First ones had coscast heads

Then Cav GSI 2000 and 2000 4wd, up to J plate,
then cav sri from J plate to L plate had 2.0 EX (red top)

From H to M the calibra 16v had a red top,
the later ones, (L onward) have distributorless ingnition packs ( featured on very last cav GSi's as well)

ALL turbo engines up to R reg (calibra) and M reg (Cav turbo's) were NON ECOTEC even if they say they are.

And it was the later heads that were cosscast, as Vauxhall addressed the porus problem by making a better head. Don't panic about a porus head though, its easy to fix.

no it was the earlier ones.
they created the problem by using a cheaper casting trying to cut costs
