Car: 03 plate blobeye uk wrx.

Question: does the rear cambelt covers slide on behind the pulleys or are they put on before the pulleys are fitted to the camshafts?

Noob question I know but I've never messed with an Impreza engine so i'm clueless.

Thanks in advance

 

EDIT: Just searched impreza rear cambelt cover on google images and it shown me pics and looks like the cover goes on before the pulleys so think I may have answered my own question but would still like confirmation?

 

Yes - Inner covers go on before the pulleys do and a little dab of loctite on the M6 bolts wont come amiss either.

Looks like the idiot who done the engine work on it forgot to put that inner plate on the n/s before he put the engine back together then and now i've got a missing cover
