Corsa engine 8v SRi is C14SE

Astra 1.6 8v SPI in a G is probably X16SZ?

Bit of discussion here about a similar job - http://www.mk3oc.com/forum/showthread.php?52166-C16SE-vs-X16SZR/page3

I would guess if the bores are spaced the same then your only other issue is piston contact if the compression ratios are different, which I think they are. You'll know as soon as you fit it when you give the engine a turn although unless you're doing the belts anyway that might be an expensive afternoon for not much benefit.

Cam belt is so easy on these, surely you can turn it by hand to check for contact.
