ive been doing a bit of research for tuning the head on my c16xe and i came across a page that said to use a x16xel head out of a mk4 astra. what will this actually do to my engine? my car is burning oil at the minute so im going to need 2 change my head etc soon to change my oil stem valve seals. do you think theres any point in gettin a x16xel head for my car?

thanx 4 the help

I have a feeling the XEL head is the same as the XE1, its got the breather cast into the block and the water galleries are slightly different.. So I dont think if it would be compatible with the XE block.

XE1 is the small block 1.8.. The X16XEL looks the same to me.

just get the stem seals on yours done, cheaper, and the c16xe is a good head anyway
