Bit of an obscure one, but does anyone know much about x16szr and z16se engines as found in Mk4 Astra?
My Astra's munched a spark plug, resulting in a big groove down one of the bores (I've had the head off to confirm). It's got a z16se and although an x16szr or even c/s16se should be the same block, the z16se has a crank sensor whereas the others dont.
If I picked up an x16szr engine (which is more readily available than a z16se), everything would be ok if I could fit the z16se crank sensor to it - the boss is already there. But what I don't know is whether the x16szr has a sensor pickup on the crank in the same way a z16se must have.
Anyone know...?
