Docking Rings
Hi Guys, just cleaning up an old post in case any-one else looks it up, or you could say a very late update 
Hey,DO NOT USE DOCKING RINGS!!!
These things seemed to work great for (how long has it been?) about seven months, then I just had oil coming from EVERYWHERE!!, and when it runs down over the exhaust system, you can get some real funny looks!!
Basically these things are some form of soft rubber, and with time, heat and oil attacks them and they turn into something worse than fresh bubble gum on carpet. 
Eventually, internal pressure (yes, my dipstick pops up) blows the goo out of the screw hole, and you disappear in a cloud of smoke!! 
Lesson learned; use SUBARU rocker cover gaskets, BUT, order the common ones used EJ22 engines, they're cheaper. 
Arthur.
