   yeh they deffently look the same to me too.
   
   just make sure its a tight enough fit when fitting and that there is plenty of clearence.

   considering the blocks are the same bar a few little things i think the vtr one will fit, suppose my best bet is to just take both of them along to KrisB when he does my cambelt, but i cant be bothered to pay my mate for another pump! lol

    no problem. also count the teeth and check diameter of both before fitting.
    
    if they are both the same and new one fits snugly i would go ahead and fit it.
