Z16XE??!

Post by rocketry »

Hello!

I recently bought a corsa gsi. I checked the engine code and i found Z16XE. Is it possible the block is from a Z16XE and the cylinder head is form a X16XE? How can I check the cylinder head is from X16XE or Z16XE?

Z16 is a corsa c engine the x16 head wouldnt fit I'm almost certain what year is it and are you sure its a genuine gsi
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Here's some picture of the engine. The engine looks like a X16XE. I hope you can help me.
