the rocker cover is different on the 1.8 iirc, why's the engine code missing?

its not necessarily but often seeing them whilst in the car is impossible so it there is an easier simple visual check i can do the WIN

because i dont have a smartphone mowgli

Ah right ok then.

Dont discount baby 1400 valvers either.

theres a 1.4 corsa sport there at the mo

have a look on the cambelt cover top part, there's normally a little white sticker with the code on too

yup i know about that sticker but that is rarer than being able to read the engine number

the oil filter on a 1800 is an insert type.

i think x18xe1 run insert oil filters but z18xe run cannister type..
Engine number is written in usual spot in dots - only suggestion is wire brush then thin runny paint - it kinda falls into the dots to make it more legable..
Rocker cover is a bit different, but does look quite similar..

inlet manifolds are different i think, sure they are similar to the ecotec bigblock ones

the 1600 will be on map censor. and 1800 on mass air.
