cheers mate, thought it would be about that.
are x16xe heads worth anything? if i get a complete engine for it then is it worth while to sell the the head from the one with the fudged bottom end or are they no really worth much?

probably cheaper were in vectras aswell. have different looking inlet to what a corsa engine does.
possibly also in zafiras so its maybe a more common engine than the corsa one.
