   No
   
   dont use a vtr one on a VTS, they run slightly different offsets - if you use a VTR one on a 16v, itll jump the belt and cut through it over a period of time.

   Correct the std vts have a rubber bonded middle ( bit like a damper/ crush) they always break , If memory serves me correctly GMC do a solid one
