am rebuilding my corsa sport to to bent valves
a bought a head and when a started to clean it all i noticed its a mk4 astra head x16xel
only noticed differances are the screw holes for the astra coil pack and the size of the inlet ports
the resr of the corsa stuff will bolt on to it ie inlet exhayst valves etc
everything is the same ie water ports on the head etc
advice would be great thanks

I hear the x16xel head is better than the x/c16xe head due to bigger ports..
