c20xe early timing belt kit question

[turbo-boy]

hello there my c20xe needs a belt it has round timing belt teeth is this the early or later type?also is there a tensioner difference between the two.looking at buying a kit here.

yeh hang on

[auzzy-b]

my guess would be an Early Type.. check the top of the oil pump, if there is a mount with a pulley connected to it, Late type! think these have 74 teeth?? or sumthing like thatlol For a brand new full set you can buy for £70 or less

my block is a x20xev with a 8v crank pulley to match the red top cams.before this i was origanly useing a x20xev pulleys, timing belt kit ,but it turned out to be 3 teeth to big. can i use eco tec pulleys and just buy a belt or is there 2 different sizes of xe t,belts? cheers
