You give the reg or VIN to GSF parts and ask them.
You would not want a kit for a Reco engine tho, would you?!

Albags, that really depends on when it was reconditioned really.

True
But the replacement engine should be the same type .. right?
Cambelt kits are to type rather than year, also.
GSF will advise which kit for which year .. take it from there.
Sometimes they need engine number .. you could take that from the engine block.
Engine ID on side of block .. Is it like pic here?
