Sorry for the idiot question, but before I bolt on my reconditioned heads i want to verify that I am correct in my thinking.

The driver's side and passenger's side heads are interchangeable, right? Never heard of it being otherwise, but just wanted to make sure it wasnt some odd turbo 6 peculiarity.

thx!
 
One of mine had "Right" marked on it. Just make sure the headers and intake will line up right before you bolt them on.

I didn;t notice anything like that on either of mine, but now this has me wondering, IS there a difference between left and right side heads? Just by doing a visual inspection they certainly LOOK identical, which is as I expected. I just dont wanna go through the trouble of bolting them on to find out they are different somehow... Don't laugh at me, I just wanna make sure I don;t screw this up and double check everything before i do it :)
 
If the heads were ported and matched to the intake then it probably would be a concern that they go back on the correct side. Correct me if I am wrong.
 
Thanks for the help guys, this is what I figured, but sometimes an idea pops in my head and I figured I'd get a solid answer before I went ahead and installed everything :)

As for porting, so far as I know, the ports haven't been touched. The shop I took em to just tanked em, magnafluxed em, pressure tested em, resurfaced em, put in new seals and did a valve job.

again, thanks for the help :)
