Valve Cover gasket

eddieman · 01-31-2004, 09:08 PM

Hi Everyone , any one knows where to buy a valve cover gasket for a 97 Turbo Legacy EJ20 DOHC engine . i swap a engine from a EJ25 to a EJ20T, and now is leaking oil from my valve cover, so i pull it out and figure it out that i can't find this valve cover gasket in any local shop, they never seen this before. i did order a 2002 WRX valve cover gasket coz i think is the same , but it won't fit. Plz help. and one more question, how do i post a pic in a forum, cozi want to post the gasket. Thx so much

A picture won't help too much since they're all the same shape. I would say try a phase I EJ22 gasket off a USDM Legacy turbo...If that doesn't do it, you should look to one of the down under forums like MRT's discussion forum to try and get one from someone down there...

I ask the company sold me the engine, they told me is a JDM 91-95 Legacy turbo, i did try to order 98 dohc gasket, but it won't fit i think subaru turbo cars usually use direct ignition. is there any place selling JDM parts. Thx
