    Phil,
    I have a few questions for you if you don't mind. You may remeber I am buiding a road rally C16XE Corsa B, I have been researching about the breather systems used on these engines to limit crank oil starvation. As far as I can see, there are 2 take-off points for the breather system, 1 from the cam cover and one from the block breather back to a catch tank which flows back to the sump. Would this be correct?
    The other question I have is, I have read that some people use a steel sump pan on the C16XE rather than an alumnium one, do you know which steel sump fits the C16XE?

    Thanks, Dyfrig Evans

    Philip,
    Can you tell me if a C16SE head, fit a C16XE block?
    Trying to toy with ideas for a road rally class. If running a 16v engine I must retain the standard
    injection but if I run a 8v engine, I can use split carbs.

    Thanks.

    It's a brand-new set of arp bolts that I have, I don't mind getting a set of arp bolts from you it's just I have a spare set that won't be doing anything. Can you send me over your account number and sort code. And a price for bolts and rods, cheers

    Big thanks Phil for your hard work on the XE head for me. Car seems so much better for the work done. Well impressed with the turn around time but as you're a freak who doesn't sleep I suppose it's to be expected. lol

    Hi mate,

    I'll probably remove the valve guides and replace with bronze items myself. Probably will not match the exhaust manifold for now as I don't have one yet (not sure which one to go for). As for the rest of it, it sounds good.
    Can you give me some kind of idea of cost for various stages? i.e. a port and polish then a price for the rest.

    Cheers,

    Dyfrig.
