Does an SR20 out of a 92 Sentra use the same Valve cover Gasket as my red top SR20det? Is there anything else that is interchangable?

I have done ALOT of searching and got nowhere. I try not to ask newb questions w/out first doing a search but, I got no REAL definative answers and I'm at work so its a little difficult. All I need is an answer. Can you help?

The problem is that Sentra or FWD SR has a distributor off the back of the head, not a CAS off the side like the RWD versions...

Very little lines up if you actually look at the totality of the engine as a percent of 100.

But some things that do 100%

Spark Plugs although heat range is pretty hot off the shelf in the US
The Rocker Arms do (on hydro Heads)
The Head Bolts swap over
O rings for spark plug holes
Oil Filter

there are some other goodies that do

So, Im pretty much stuck buying a DET one from a vendor. Not that I dont mind supporting them. It's just that I was sooo hoping I could get one from a usdm vehicle. I get a helluva good price at the local parts stores. Not tryin to be cheap really. Just would rather spend the extra $$$ on something more performance based y'know. It all adds up.
