they can't touch them without losing an engine allocation, but i'm not sure if the units themselves are actually rebuildable.

I'm sure Vauxhall would have worked on them between Brands and Oulton if they were.
I think once the seal has been broken an engine can't be re-used anyway. |

The seal is there to prevent teams altering engines in any great detail, Vauxhall opened the engine seal to rectify the problem, so I think the engine will be re-usable.
