Opel CR9 C14SE Cylinder Head Assembly – Valves Pre-Installed – Corsa / Astra / Kadett / Chevrolet Utility
This Opel CR9 C14SE cylinder head assembly is a brand new, factory-fresh replacement for the 1.4-litre SOHC petrol engine used across the Corsa, Astra, Kadett and Chevrolet Utility ranges. It is supplied with valves pre-installed — intake and exhaust valves, springs, retainers, stem seals and guides are already fitted. The camshaft is NOT included, making this the ideal choice for rebuilders who already have a serviceable camshaft from their original engine.
The C14SE is the 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine from the GM Family II architecture, widely used across Opel, Vauxhall, Chevrolet and Daewoo-badged models from the early 1990s through to the 2000s. It is a SOHC 8-valve design with an aluminium cylinder head, hydraulic lifters and a belt-driven camshaft. These engines remain in daily service across South Africa, South America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and the cylinder head is a documented replacement item on high-mileage or timing-belt failure examples.
What’s Included – Fitted to the Head

- 8 valves — intake and exhaust, heat-resistant (2 per cylinder)

This cylinder head is specific to the C14SE / CR9 1.4L SOHC 8-valve petrol engine. It is NOT interchangeable with the 1.6L C16SE 16-valve, the 1.5L G15MF, or any diesel engine in the Opel / Vauxhall / Chevrolet / Daewoo range. Note: C14SE heads use 22 mm hydraulic lifters; CR9/X14Y heads use 16 mm lifters — confirm lifter diameter before ordering.
