   i was under the impression that mine was a 90bhp, but my lecturer at college said since mine had a silver rocker cover it was a 96bhp model? black tops being 90 and not sure for the 98bhp models
   
   was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the crack is lol, im pretty confused.

   There is no 96bhp model mate.
   
   Only 90bhp and 98bhp
   
   Silver = 90bhp
   Black = 98bhp
   
   90bhp are normally on or before the year 2000. And 98bhp after.

   cat is under the car mate, black top is the better 8v tuning engine imo, partly because it can borrow parts from the rallye xsi ect
