rear PCV cover on engine leaks.. do they make a better replacement cover??


Recommended Posts

on my 2.2 that im swapping into my OBW there is a rear cover that appears to be for the pcv system and it leaks.. its behind the clutch and flywheel. it appears to be a plastic cover, thou i havent taken it off yet. do they make a steel cover if this one is indeed plastic, and is there a gasket for it, or just use RTV?? if there are replacement parts, do you guys have part numbers for them? its a 96 2.2l

Now honestly, what's wrong with good old stainless steel from your local hardware store? :confused: I bought screws from the local chevy dealer once. $70 for 14 screws for a flywheel and pressure plate. I could have had the same things in grade 8 steel from the hardware store for less than $5, but I was young and stupid.

yep - you're on it get the metal one. not sure if they're all like that, but sound slike you're getting the one i always get that requires different screws. slightly annoying considering the cost of Subaru screws, but it's not really expensive, just principle.

 

yep, picked it up today.. looks like a much better design. $31 for the plate and 8 screws (yes 1 has loctite or something on it). now i just need my timing belt and stuff to get here so we can get this swap started.
