The old GL's, Brats, Loyales and XT's were the EA family of engines. Not really something we talk about much here since they weren't in our cars.

The EA82 began to appear in 1985, in the GenIII Leone/DL/GL/Loyale, and also in the XT. It continued on until the Loyale was discontinued in 1995.
In some instances, it was carbed, but most frequently had SPFI throttle-body injection. A few cars, including turbo models and the XT, had MPFI injection. It (and its big brother the ER27 6cyl in the XT6) were the only EA engines with timing belts.
Unfortunately, it's usually regarded as the weakest EA engine. Blown headgaskets, and even cracked heads, are very common. The pushrod EA71 and EA81 engines are much more robust.
The EA engines in general, however, are workhorses, not powerhouses. I wouldn't trust one past about 180hp.
As Matt said, go to the USMB for all your EA info.
