Andy FitzGibbon Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 One per side. Available from thepartsbin.com They look more or less like a regular o-ring, but are metal reinforced. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy FitzGibbon Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Don't get the cam HOUSING (or case) o-rings and the cam SUPPORT (or carrier) o-rings confused. The cam housing o-rings go between the head and the cam housings, and seal the oil passage. The support o-rings go behind the aluminum cam supports that hold the cam seals and bolt to the front of the cam housings. thepartsbin.com has pictures on the web site, just input your vehicle info and then look for the parts under "engine mechanical".

idosubaru Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 it was never said but we're talking about an EA82 here? correct - there are two orings that could be referred to by this way. the cam cap orings are the ones that are located directly behind the cam seals and easily replaced with any timing belt job. the cam carrier orings are the metal reinforced orings at the bottom corners of the cam cases. these are only replaced if the cam actually is removed from the engine block. these are metal reinforced orings and should never be replaced with regular orings. just go to http://www.thepartsbin.com, they have pictures of both.
