as said the coscast heads are less prone to going porous, they dont give any power increase at all but they are defiantely worth having.

no coscast head dont give any power increases...

only reason alot of people think that is due to that they are fitted to pre-cat 20xe's which have more power due to no cat...

difference's between coscast and gm are :-

different oil galleries, which helps stop them going porus
and 3mm bigger ports iirc

if its a cos cast, engine code will more than likely be 20xe,
but everyone just call's all of them c20xe's
