The '''X16XE''' is a [[General Motors]] engine. It is a 1598 [[litre|cc]] (1.6L) 16 valve, [[DOHC]] inline 4 cylinder engine.
The '''C20NE''' is a [[Family II]] fuel injected, four cylinder engine developed by [[General Motors]] in the late 80's. It is essentially very similar to the [[C20XE]], but has a simpler cylinder head design which features 2 valves per cylinder (rather than the four of the [[C20XE]]) and single overhead camshaft.  For this reason, the powerplant is commonly referred to as '8 Valve'.  The C20NE was factory fitted to early [[Opel Astra]] and [[Vauxhall Cavalier]] models, but also found its way into the entry spec [[Calibra]].  Subsequently, the fitment of the C20NE engine permitted the use of an automatic transmission, particularly in the [[Calibra]] where the [[C20XE]] developed excessive amounts of power and torque for the automatic box.  Although lacking the power of its bigger siblings, the C20NE has proven to be an economical and robust engine, with many examples still running flawlessly today.
