C16xe head has bigger ports, so you'll see a few ponies from that.

Ps. I'd do a wet and dry compression test to see if it's not the piston rings that are gone.

Its hardly worth it though.

Do a bit of work on the head, and port match the inlet, Best of going for a XEL head then anyway.

C16 Cams are no different.

I worded it wrong lol, If you done the same work to a XEL head it would be even better.

Triangular ports, Compared to a worked C16XE head it flows a bit better. See SBD for proof.
