Main change I believe(This may have changed since I retired?) was the breather kit #2204755 which included a changed item #6 (bellows) and #8 (labyrinth plate) Plus I have had some owners before I retired pull the foam filter #10 from the breather assembly on earlier models and said it helped.OEM Parts Look at the orange triangles as to the main parts that have changed . Even the 2012 valve cover has changed,but don't think it's part of the repair kit(220475) listed as #6, and #8 Could be a newer kit has evolved,but haven't kept up with the changes. OPT

After further review, the 2012 labrith is a differernt number than the rest, Im ordering the labrith, all seals and new breather cover, I dont think I need the new style valve cover, "I hope, if I do Ill get it later, the gasket is the same #so we'll see, $31.85 + shipping, from cycle parts ware house, Ill let you know how it works
