The rear sprocket wheels have the same part number on both these engines.

I'd found this out a few days back, my post no 137 refers.
However, what I did not know was that 160 and 177 refers to the 2.5.
I know there are two more cams for the MGZT LGC000260/270
Also noted the rear chainwheels are common, so with the different cams we can expect they will each be machined so that the marks on these chainwheels line up when the appropriate front tools are used; I'll check this on mine.
What I have now realised is that changing KV6 belts is a straight forward job when the special tools are used. One only has to mess about with Tippex marks when doing without them.
Looking back it does seem staggering that this job has generated so much correspondance here over the years, but then I do realise that approaching it cold, as I did, with all the rumours of difficulties, perhaps it's not surprising that people are initially daunted by it.
