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??

The way you wrote t his, looks like the 13270..is the LEFT side (Drivers I think) ?

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.
