black camshaft dust cover on the left head


 

I picked up my rebuilt EJ22 heads from the local machine shop last
night and I am putting them back together today. One thing that
appears to be missing is the black plastic cover that protects that
camshaft and oil seal on the left head, on the flywheel end of the
engine. Is there a special oil seal that comes with this cover on it?
Can I get by without this dust cover?


 

There is no seal in the cover and yes you can order the plastic's new from the dealer.

LH(driver's side) rear as when in the Subaru car has a one piece rubber/plastic seal that cpovers the end of the cam. The RH/passenger side (when in the Subaru car is a bolt on aluminum cover, that has an O-ring as I recall.
The Genuine Subaru seal kit has all that and all the many cam-belt cover rubbers and foam pieces too.
The LH Rear cam seal/cap would be available individually, I would think.
