Can anyone confirm whether the cam caps on are labeled on DSM heads for retaining them in their original location? I was thinking that they aren't labeled from what I recall of my spare 6 bolt head but I could easily be mistaken.

Thanks

I know they are labeled. It says if they are on the intake side or exhaust side and what numer they are in order. You also want to keep the arrows on them pointed outward to make sure they are not put on backwards.

Labeled E for exhaust side and I for intake. Arrows face towards timing belt. Numer 1 being the closest to belt.

BTW Make sure you keep sparkplugs in while you are messing with them, the little cap bushings like to fall into the cylinders.

Actually, the arrows on the exhaust cam caps point away from the timing belt. The arrows on the intake cam caps point towards the timing belt.

The cap numbers all face the same way.
