so basically head gasket went in my zafira, engine number z16xep. After all the damage to pistons and cylinder etc it is cheaper to get replacement engine.. that's what I did. Its the same 1.6 twin port ecotec engine with same model number z16xep.. now my question is can I just use my old ecu on the new engine (plug and paly) without programming? Thanks

If it's the same exact model engine then you can use the ECU without any changes or re-programming. Mechanically it's the same, and the ECU has no way of knowing that it's a different engine as it only sees what is electrically connected to it, as in sensors and data inputs.
