yes will work 100% fine

May differ slightly in preformance due to different sized ports

iirc vauxhall put 1.4 heads on the 1.6 and made the x16xel not 100% on that though

Not likely considering the X16XEL head combined with the C16XE block gives the best gains, according to SBD.

I thought this too. I thought it was only the C16XE that came with bigger ports...

Im sure I remember reading that vauxhall only supply one head now for all the engines so there wont be any difference in head design if you went to vauxhall.
