Bill, a copper O-Ring on an aluminum/plastic interface torqued to only
20 ft/pounds might not be a good sealing idea.
It is different on a 90 foot/pound aluminum to alunimum head gasket, for example.
Copper O-Rings custom made and bent for a limited application would most likely be much more expensive than the stock Subaru gaskets.
Merry Christmas.


Sending PM.
