if i were marooned on pluto with a broken cam belt and the only spare i had was a pinto belt, yes i would fit it, but back on planet earth why would anyone wish to fit such a critical item as a cambelt from a totally different engine when i could just as easily buy the correct item ....or am i another planet here?
