Doesn't matter really mate.. there both the same. Most later ones do come with coscast heads in both xe's and LET's. But so do the really really early XE's. Coscast heads dont go porus.

I've heard you can't cam xes because they hit the pistons you need new pocketed pistons , you can't map them (dizzy engines) and xe manifolds are hard to source (performance ones )

You can map xe's, and live map them, it's just expensive, also manifold for them are two a penny on ebay etc,
People just don't wanna spend the money so claim it's hard to do.

Not saying its a better engine,but i prefer the coilpack XE.Injectors have a better spray pattern and the dis-pack/management is a better design.

How can you prefer an engine over the injector spray pattern you sound like James May.

The early ones can take up to 500bhp on the standard crank can they not?

The crank is stronger on the early ones.. Its swings and round-a-bouts really. You can only make assumptions if they were all brand new. There all hammered these days and in most cases in need of a rebuild, so you cant say which is better as its a case of dropping on a good one (early or late) that runs well. And when tuned or modded parts fitted, you alter everything anyway.

just look at my forsale thread for a proper XE and exhaust manifold.

early engines are better as have a lighter and stronger crank...see 9k rpm and the pistons are forged not cast like the later ones are.

not sure of year, people tend to miss the 'j@ out when refer to them as 20xe, but typical early belt set up motors are the ones with the better crank and pistons....unless someones changed belt set ups or mix/matched parts over the years.
