I don't understand this  why not just buy a 1.6 and swap your bits over, surely that's easier than getting a different engine put in fair enough if you were doing a 2.0 16v conversion but it's a standard production model.

Its more hassle getting all my bits taken off....IMO and also having to sell the car etc I know exactly how the car is and that there isnt one problem with its all mechanically sound and with gettting the 1.6 rebuilt it would be like getting a new engine

dont get the Astra 1.6 16v its a X16XEL? (irrc) Dont respond to tunning the same and has a different inlet manifold etc
Also most x16xe ar not that high milers and only really need a basic rebuild if they are not loosing oil etc.
