From the photos it certainly is a close look a like for the late astra g 1.6 8v,s which in turn were nigh on the c/e16 se.

They are similar bore as the 1.4 16v X14XE's, Slightly smaller as a brazilian asked for some so he could reborn his 1.0 8v.
Youtube search for 1.0 corsa turbo will bring up a good few videos.
OK, a plea for help.
Has anyone got English-speaking friends or relatives in Brazil?
I need to get hold of more information about these X10YFH series 1.0 OHC engines, in particular whether the engine block is of the same external design as a Nova.
Assuming I can get hold of that information, and it is the same, then I want to buy an engine and get it shipped here.
I've drawn a blank on trying to find a breaker or an EBAY seller in Brazil, so someone living there seems to be my best chance of success.
Any help welcome, and any results can be rewarded in Nova parts............thanks.
as i am guilty of sending you on this course.. i feel duty bound to try & help you. i know a bloke who is married to a portugese woman, and he is pretty much fluent too, i'll go & investigate any connections they might have.
i'd imagine there are few portugese speakers in your part of the world, wherever there is vegetable picking, there are portugese people
Thanks Mike, any help much appreciated.Quote:

Admin Lee's dad lives over in Brazil, not sure if he's fluent or there's large English speaking areas but might be worth a PM?
good memory.... paint the engine grey & make out its a suitcase.... then lee can bring it home for nowt
We actually have a job in at work atm which is on a deadline as the guy is taking 2 Manta CIH blocks back with him to the states, I can try and ask how exactly he's doing it.Quote:
