Chain tensioner left or right?
I am posting this question here because all the gear heads are here. On a 997 turbo engine which is same Medzger design as a GT3, there are two part numbers for chain tensioners, one left and one right. I am guessing that one has a design that allows it to be installed upside down and not leak all the oil out.
How can you tell which one is which when you removed them from the car?

The passenger side and driver side tensioners have different part numbers.

Absent any factory documentation on how to tell the two tensioners apart and my factory service manual has nothing on this -- there's only the part number.

If you have the existing parts exposed and if there is a part # visible enter the part # into a google search and see what turns up.
