Corsa B?
Well done on taking the cambelt off so no one can tell if the valves are bent or if it even starts, I may try that if I ever need to sell a fucked car

Cambelt is on, all timing is correct and running.

"Bailys dump valve"
The last time I checked.. Bailey's was a drink, and not a dump valve..

hmm...redtop i really hate that word...i dont know why, but it really annoys me. Wierd i know...but i think its just coz everyone always asked if it was a 'redtop 2litre' when i had my 8v, and one person even said 'oh how is it a 2litre if its not a redtop then?'. A stupid generalisation for people who dont know engine codes.
That does seem to have quite a few random problems though, and some of the claims of cars it will beat are a little sketchy too! I notice the cambelt cover has been left off on the photos though.

Didn't the Calibra 4x4 2.0 turbo leave the factory with a C20LET, and not a C20XE?
