Can anyone tell me how to identify a coscast head for a C20let?
And also where can I find the engine number?

I can only see a GM stamp on the head and where I thought the engine number would be, like it was on my e16se, the head gasket covers this area?

Thanks guys

Engine number is on the block, down the flange where the gearbox mounts. At the front.

Coscasts have "COSCAST" in between 2 of the exhaust ports. Need the head upside down to see this though. Also, core plug in the side. IIRC the Coscast doesnt have one.

See here for info...http://www.max-boost.co.uk/max-boost/internet_articles/Astra-mk2_com%20-%2020XE%20Coscast%20Cylinder%20head%20dossier.htm

as above coscast under the number 3 exhaust port feel for it you will feel it and if it has a core plug on the gearbox side then its gm coscasts are blank
