On my replacement passenger side head, I assume
I should get replacement seals for the various
holes on the front and rear of the head. (I
already have the gaskets for the valve cover, head gasket, intake manifold, exhaust manifold).

The exploded view on ETKA is a bit confusing as
to what goes where, so I am asking for your
opinion.

Here's the front side of the passenger side
head. There are 3 holes in the head here that
are at least the size of a quarter - Top-Left,
Top-Right, and Bottom-Center:

My guess is that ETKA is showing:
Top-Left = #7 068103085E "seal"
Top-Right = #7 068103085E "seal"
Bottom-Center: #13 N0119082 "sealing cap"

Now, when I look at the back of the passenger
side head, I see two holes larger than a quarter. Top-Right and Bottom-Center in photo.

ETKA only seems to identify:
Top-Right: #14 078103113E "sealing cap"
Bottom-Center: ???

What fills that Bottom Center hole?
Likewise I don't see a P/N for that tan semi-circle plug in the Top-Left "hole".

After typing all of this up, I think it just
hit me that the lower hole on the back is the water jacket hole. Is that correct?

Top left has a line, but the other two are just hanging out there. I think after looking long enough, I know that those do go there. At first, however, I was comparing driver's side to pass side and saw that driver's side had a #7 in front and rear, so I thought the pass side should have the same. That's why I was trying to see exact locations with exploded lines.

and yeah #13 is floating out there...

wouldn't your old head be a good guide to see what goes where?

I was mostly confused by the hole in the rear at the time of posting, which I now see is for the water jacket connection. I haven't gotten far enough on my car to see my current plugs. Even when doing the timing belt, this is all I saw:

I had planned to take the new head with me to the dealership to verify fitment

certainly its not junk....someone could rework that...was there a core charge on the new head?

Mark P

the replacement head came from an AWer - no core charge ;-)

ebay is a wonderful thing.

The half moon is part of the cam switch seal. It has the same pn for both sides.
