MY96 turbo wagon needs a rocker cover gasket, i understand there are two?? and its the one that is easiest to replace apparently. The garage where i take it say that the one they have on the system only goes down to my97 so they contacted subaru who said they only go to my97 but it should fit. the worrying bit is SHOULD fit. can anyone tell me if it will fit???
Sorry if this is all a bit vague, i have no knowledge of engines etc.

 

Get them to order the correct one from Subaru!!
If they give them the chassis no. they will be able to get the right one

 

they already got chassis number and car reg and for some reason it doesnt show up. They called me to check that car was not an import even though it has uk chassis number. its all to confusing for me!

 

I see your problem now!!

As Subaru can't tell you which is the right one get them to supply both, and return the unused one to them (at no extra charge)

 

Subaru say they only have the MY97, but it SHOULD fit! Thought Subaru would of been a little more helpfull. Oh well guess i find out if it fits on friday when the car goes in to garage
Thanks for your advice though.

 

I believe they changed on the phase 2 engine, extra bolts..
not sure exactly when the phase 2 engine came in??
end of 98? not sure
