Rebuilding a 16v engine, what parts to use?

[Ben (lurk75)]

Right i have bought a 1600 16v Corsa GSi engine, it is the C16 XE.
It has a few little problems so am stripping it and rebuilding it. It already has a Mantzel powerbox, superchip and 4-1 manifold.

I know a few things to do as in the ARP rod bolts, the SBD pulleys etc but is there anything else worth doing whilst in pieces.

Also where can you get the ARP bolts? (i know off of arp but anyone know the phone number or website?)

Cheers guys.

what else are you doing to engine ben

you know u cant run the sbd pulleys if your keeping std injection?

if your doing any bottom end work SBD do the gasket set

GSK24E bottom gasket set ?20.24 +VAT, seems very good quality stuff, including new sump gasket, both oil seals, and breather o-ring + gasket.

i would stick with vuax head gasket + bolts.

if your doing stem seals make sure you get genuine vuax
