SHould be the same - what was wrong with the Y26?

If it was cam belt failure you can use the X25 heads on the Y26

NO UNFORTUNATELY THE Y26SE IS TOAST    BEARINGS
NON FUNCTIONING OIL PUMP I JUST READ THAT THE Y26SE HAS 225 TEETH AND THE WIDTH IS 30 SO I GUESS IF I COUNT MINE AND IT IS THE SAME IT SHOULD WORK

is there something wrong with your caps lock? STOP shouting.

Tensioner is a different design on the back i think, as mentioned you could use the 2.5 heads on the 2.6

in that case put the 2.6 heads on the 2.5, as that will already have the DBW gubbins

DBW - Drive by wire.

2.6 has an ECU controlled throttle, 2.5 is cable driven.
