Default 98 3.3L identification needed

I want to refresh some of the parts on my engine (idler pulley, serpentine blet, etc.) Ordering online they want to know if I have the "L" O.H.V., OR a "R" O.H.V.

What is the difference between "L" and "R?" And, how do I tell?

Thanks

L or R is in your VIN ID Plate. For the 1996 year they have a J Code, 158hp, 3.3L or the R Code, 165hp, 3.3L HO motor. Jus' a Heads Up for ya.

Great, thanks. I thought 3.3L meant 3.3 liter.

it does mean 3.3 liter, but there were 2 different versions of it, one is high output.
