October 2, 200916 yr What does it mean when it asks for "vin-4", "vin-5" "vin-7". I am trying to order headgaskets, and i dont know the difference. Some replacement parts say for all 1800 c.c engines, but the headgaskets are specific. help!
October 2, 200916 yr Its referring to the numbers in the vehicle's VIN. 4 and 5 are the fourth and fifth digits in the VIN code. The 4th represents the make and the 5th is the series. I'm a little confused about 7 though because that is what kind of seat belt system it has. Are you sure that 7 is right? It should be the 8th number, as that represents what kind of engine it has in it. The both the EA-81 and EA-82 are both 1800 engines but use different parts, so the 7th (8th?) digit will tell them the specific engine. What year/model car do you have?

October 2, 200916 yr Author it is a 1989 Gl-10 EA82-T check out this link, it shows what I am trying to describe http://shop.oreillyauto.com/VehicleSelection.aspx?DestinationPage=%2fDefault.aspx&Year=1989&make=Subaru&Model=GL-10
October 2, 200916 yr Author Well, I figured it out. I guess I am vin code 5. Thanks for the advice though!
October 2, 200916 yr I think that refers to whether it's the hatch, sedan, wagon, etc... because for a while they used both the EA81 and the EA82 in the same years, but in different cars, so just going with the 1800cc engine doesn't help...
