    From what iv read E16se with round top cam belt cover were in GTE and some early GSi had E16se with a square top cam belt cover

    C16se was the engine then put in the GSi

    I could be wrong

    but the engine i have is an E16 with round top cambelt cover which i believe would be incorrect to fit in my GSi
