Manta again Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 If you use a 16v xe with dizzy, l know you have to relocate the dizzy to the front using the setup from an 1800 but what happens to the original dizzy fittings at the rear.

Manta again Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks garymanc thinking about buying dizzy xe but it doesn't come with one, wondering how difficult it will be to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 You can leave the dizzy in the rear of the xe and modify or move the heater box to make room for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manta again Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks the engine has a gm head, everyone talks about getting a coscas head or something like that. What should I look for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymanc Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 they say the coscast head is better as the gm one can leak from a oil gallery have a read off this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C20XE had 2 gm heads with no problem in that department,plus you can modify the gm head to stop this http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/engines-transmission/340906-thought-id-have-go-porous-cracked-head-modification.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rutts Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 if you move the dizzy from the rear put a ball bearing in the hole in centre of the cam or oil pressure will drop. the dis pac cam already has this bearing fitted. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
