I'll admit I probably worded it wrongly but basically Coscast heads are much LESS prone to going porous than GM heads.

I think coscast heads are less prone because there isn't as many as GM ones.

I know what you're saying but the quality of cast could and should be better for the exact reason you say.

Aye the C in C20XE stands for cat. Pretty sure it's a 20XEJ if we want to get pernickety

not necessarily, i guess meeting level 1 on that engine requires use of a cat though, the C is just coincidence. The rest of the codes are

Z = euro 4
Y = euro 3
X = euro 2
C = euro 1

and

G = 8 to 8.5:1
L = 8.5 to 9:1
N = 9 to 9.5:1
S = 9.5 to 10:1
X = 10 to 11.5:1
Y = 11.5+:1


D = diesel
E = multi-point injection
Z = single-point injection
V = carburettor


extra codes

H = high output
R = increase output
T = turbo
V = volume model

were any of the non Cs in production in 1993?

How can he think he could sell it for £5k? Stupid price and the car isn't even that nice. £50k spent on it? My arse.

They started using a C at the beginning because that meant it has a cat so that it meets the emissions regs. No idea why they didn't carry on the lettering consecutively after that though, seeing as now they've decided to use A
