Is there any difference between a 1999 and a 2001 cam cover? I seem to recall the earlier cam cover sets had the one piece plug seals as opposed to the later ones ? Slightly easier to fit? Thanks

 

According to JEPC, the changeover from the 'pair of specs' plug seals and, I think, the fatter cam cover gaskets, was by engine number (>9810290000) which runs into the 99MY?

If it is an older cover, you should be able to see the channel in the cover moulding where the rubber piece joining each pair of seals fits. Can you compare the two?

 

I have an 01 my. I’m sure it had the pair of specs seals. I was under th3 impression this fitted the later covers too. Thanks for your help
