Cam Covers the same; left vs right ?
Hi,
I'm curious if the left and right gaskets are the same? I ordered both (did the drivers side last nite) and wanted to replace the passengers side, but they look the same and seem to have the same part # from the place I got them (not subaruparts.com) ? Anyone know ? The cam covers look the same, but don't want to get it off and not fit !!! |

Yes it does, but sometimes they'll label parts this way. The reason I'm questioning what I got was because I ordered two part numbers and got 2 of 1 part #.
Anyone know which head is left and which is right ? facing car ? Sitting in car ? I need the Passenger side adn not sure which it is ? |

right=passenger side
left=driver's side. The easier way to tell is make judgment from sitting in the car. |

Well, I re-ordered the Passenger Side (Right Side) from Subaruparts.com and it came back with the same part# as the Driver Side (Left Side) ?
I'll assume they're either the same or just the parts labeling is screwy. There are a few different numbers on them, but the main part# and description matches both sides. |

Take a closer look. The part numbers should be 1 digit different for left and right: 13270AA031 and 13272AA031.
Did you remember to get spark plug gaskets and new bolt grommets?? Dave |

they are different. i just did mine and the right i believe has a flat spot on the gear cover as the left is rounded all the way around. the gaskets are different

13270AA031 is what I've got

I have two of these: 13270AA031 from SubaruParts.com. It says :Gskt-Rocker CoverRH. Would the RH mean right side and thus the passenger side. I'm needing the Passenger side gasket, so hope this is it. I really don't want to tear about the car and have the wrong one. Yes, I've got the other gaskets. |

Actually I just wrote the numbers randomly. Sorry. I should have been more clear. 13270AA031 is the passenger side. Dave |
