i dont think so, since vauxhall would have started with the original XE engine block to create an LET

your engine number should start C20let, but i gues the bottom end was replaced at some point. i have a block in my garden for a let with an enginr no that starts 20xe.. wouldnt worry tbh, aslong as all the machining was done properly to take the turbo oil feed amd return
