camshaft housings-which is which?

just about to get the left side of my 930 bolted up when i read in waynes book that the cam housings are 'slightly' different. hmm... i just grabbed one of them and cleaned it up, thinking they were the same. hmm.... does anyone know the 'slight' differences?

If this is a 930 engine, the way I can tell is that the driver's side (cylinders 1 through 3) the cam housing is open on the rear (the portion that the actually receives the camshaft) to accomodate the scavenge pump. The pump is run off of the cam and therefore this section needs to be open on the housing. On cylinders 4 through 6 there is a large cover (more like a plug) that hides the back of the cam.

Pet only lists one part no: x 2 so there must be the same.

I've got Wayne's book with me at the office (I bring it where ever I go) and after skimming through it, I didn't see any mention of the cam tower/cam housing/cam deck differences. However the differences between the right and left CAMSHAFT is mentioned. Could this be what you're thinking of?

Yeah, I read that too. I scribed mine when I took it apart. Unfortunately, mine is a 911SC so I can't tell you what how they might be different for a 930.
