Slightly different i think. Also depends on the phases as some are deeper than others. Williams are deeper than valver ones

also true^^

I thought they were different coops but before i sold my williams sump on i compaired to to a valver one.. they were exactly the same, internals fitted etc etc.

But as far as i know there are 2 different shapes and you need to get the right shape for it to fit correctly.

I thought the sumps were pretty universal ,i put a 16v sump on my f3p block and just altered the dipstick mark , sorted!
