OK, I've decided to replace my valve cover gaskets... What else should I replace?
Hello all,
I need to place an order for valve cover gaskets and I figured I should go ahead and replace the spark plugs while I was in there... Here is what I have so for: 2 Valve Cover Gaskets 4 "spark Plug well" gaskets 20 washer gaskets 2 oil seperator gaskets 6 spark plugs 1 oil cap seal 1 oil filler neck seal Are there any other seals I should order? Thanks. Clarke Last edited by clarkerussell; 02-15-2011 at 07:36 PM. |

I had my valve cover gaskets replaced not to long back.
I asked on here for help making a list of parts and was helped by quite a few people. I have attached the PDF file I made with the list of part numbers for the valve cover gaskets. P.S. My list also has the bolts on it. The previous owner had replaced the valve cover gaskets only 7months before I bought the car and they were already leaking. So I decided to have all new bolts don't at same time because I am paranoid like that. I am not sure what else would be good to have done at the same time. I am just posting this list so you can check it against what you listed. oh, and BUMP |

Good chance you need to replace the cam seals and crank seal too(requires removing the timing belt)

Thanks, that's a good list, especially with the diagram.
The parts pricing is exactly what I found on Subaruparts.com. I just wish their shipping wasn't so damn high. It's about 15% of the parts price. $22 is WAY too much for ground shipping on a few gaskets, bolts and a set of spark plugs... I'd expect 2-3 day service for that price. |

Since you mentioned it, I have the part number (806732150) for the two cam seals, do you have the number for the crank seal? I can't seem to find it on the Subaruparts.com site. Thanks. Clarke |

You can try Jamie @ SubaruGenuineParts.com too- still up in WA like SubaruParts.com, but her shipping is usually cheaper.
As for the crank seal, it's bad that I still know this off the top of my head after being out of a Subaru dealership for over 4 years, but it's 806733030 . You should get 806919050 as well, which is the o ring on the back of the pump, and fully reseal the oil pump if you're already in there. You'll need some RTV sealant as well, as that's what sticks the pump to block and finishes up the sealing. |

Does it make sense to start with the valve covers and then move on to the front of the engine? The valve covers can be done without removing anything from the front of the engine, right?

Plugs are easier to change with the valve covers off...

Yes that is correct, you can do the Valve covers then later when you're ready, do the front seals (don't forget to replace the Power Steering Tank O-Ring while you're working on it)

Awesome, I already replaced the PS tank o-ring a few years back... It leaked during a trip... what a mess. So, for the Valve covers I'm getting all the parts on the list as well as 6 new plugs as well as the gasket for the oil fill neck (and a new oil cap seal for good measure). Good times await... |

Also try liberty subaru and ask for Russ, they offer a 20% discount on parts and their shipping has always been reasonable in my experience. I order all parts through liberty. I've used subaruparts.com and waited close to 2 weeks to get parts. Way to long for me.
