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 ,
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

its the same principle with any engine, once you have done one you can do any engine really

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.

Is there any web sites with things too look for when refurbishing an engine, like pics of worn pistons/valves etc. Just I'll be starting mine soon and want everything mint before it goes back together.

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
