Title: 2.2 cylinder head Z22XE
Post by: yousef on 15 April 2024, 13:30:41
Hallo everybody,
I am new at this computer technology so please forgive me if i make mistakes or go to the wrong department.
I own 2001 vauxhall omega 2.2 with engine code Z22XE.
I love the car but have a problem and hopefully someone at this forum can help.
My water hoses were getting a bit hard, did all the test then sent it to have a pressure test.
Its come back as cracked cylinder head, can it be repaired or can someone shed a light on where i can get one or even a secondhand one.
I am willing to travel anywhere to get this part.
By the way i live in Cyprus and will travel to the UK or anywhere.

Are you sure the head is cracked, rather than just the head gasket failed?  Head gasket is likely to be much cheaper and likely easier to source locally

Yes sir they sent me a photo of the crack, it is between the valve and headbolt .
so it is compression only.
