Clan non-omnimechs can be equipped with STD and XL engines. Do the XL ones explode at side torso destruction like the inner sphere version or are they protected like proper clan engines in omnimechs?

They are Clan XL engines, consume 2 slots in each side torso and do not blow up on a single side torso destruction.
For the cries of XL engine unfairness.

Thanks, so only reason to use the STD engine over XL would be in order to equip larger weapons such as an AC20 I guess.

Unnecessary; Clan UAC/20 / AC/20 / LBX-20 are smaller than IS versions and can fit in the side torsos with an XL.
The only reason would be to continue living after losing both side torsos, provided you had a CT or Head weapon. Or to pack in 3 UAC/5s per ST.
