not true tbh, my mates 2.0 8v cav has a c20xe engine code but has 8 valves.

It's taking me twice as long to get my point across 
I have no interest in the performance of the car at all, you're the one going on about it being fast, I really don't care how fast it is.
All I'm questioning is what engine it is!

A one-off engine would not end up in a Corsa with no oil in it with a broken bonnet cable. It would be at GM headquarters somewhere in the reception area

The funny thing is though, you haven't told me the engine at all. You've told me it's a 2.0 8v apparently with a C20XE rocker cover and spark plug cover. In none of your posts have you given me an engine code.
Oh yeah, and the 2.0 8v's had about 130/115 bhp, depending which one it was.
