They are indeed the same....but swap the t vents over from the old heads to be sure they match the oil pump setup.

Yes, they will fit BUT they will not leak if the breathers get blocked .So it is much more important to make sure the breathers are cleaned prior to fitting and regular maintenance in the future. Also the vectra covers dont have the long neck on the oil filler so you will need a funnel to top up the oil.

yes but, the holes around the plugs are large and square to accomodate the coil per plug setups so not ideal as crudd can get where you dont want it
