Product Overview: Designed as a complete replacement cylinder head for X14XE, X16XE, X16XEL engines, this assembly arrives ready for fitment with valve seats and guides already installed. Every head is inspected and pressure tested before shipment and is supplied new with a 12-month warranty. It is intended for replace/repair use and is a cost-effective alternative to reconditioning a damaged original head. The unit is inspected for flatness and gallery cleanliness prior to dispatch, ensuring it is ready for immediate fitment.
Key Features: Manufactured in high-grade aluminium alloy or cast iron, this cylinder head is machined on CNC centres to original tolerances for deck flatness, valve seat alignment and port volume. Seats and guides are fitted and honed, and chamber volumes are equalised across cylinders for even compression and smooth running. Thickened sections around the valve bridge and combustion bowl resist thermal cycling, and the precision-machined cam carrier keeps bearing clearances within specification. All internal oil and coolant galleries are cleaned, inspected and flow-checked before the head is assembled and tested. The casting is dimensionally stable and accepts original-specification gaskets, bolts and ancillary components.
Vehicle Compatibility: Compatible applications include CORSA 1988-1992. Verify the engine code and OE number cast or stamped on the original head before purchase, since a single model line can use more than one casting revision. Coverage spans the 1988-1992 model years.
Specifications: Engine code / family: X14XE, X16XE, X16XEL; Material: high-grade aluminium alloy or cast iron; Size: STD; Condition: New, supplied for replace/repair use; Warranty: 12 Months; Packaging: neutral export carton.
OEM / Reference Numbers: Applicable OEM and reference numbers are 90400187, 90470271. Compare the stamped or cast numbers on the removed component with this list, as several revisions may exist within a model range.
Applications: Typical applications include Opel passenger cars, vans and light commercial vehicles, covering routine workshop repair, preventive maintenance and full engine rebuilds.
Benefits / Replacement Information: Replacing a damaged original with this ready-built assembly restores compression and combustion sealing while avoiding the labour and lead time of separate valve and seat work. Fitment advice is available on request.
