well today made a little progress, between helpin chris and doing mine.
i tapped a thread into the head for the egr port. and then found a bolt that fitted, cut it down a bit and added some firegum and a sump washer to seal it good
tap
bolt in egr port
then i fitted the exhaust manifold
then i cut the hole in the egr port on the inlet manifold gasket bigger to accomodate the blank bolt, and fitted up the inlet
and then i made a gasket up and fitted the cut down crankcase breather pipe to the back of the engine., no pics as it went dark

ive seen a c20xe run fine on a 1.0 12v rad.
as long as the system is clear the pump is good and the matrix is clear with good quality coolent it will be fine
