BratRod Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 RockAuto. If that fails, (which it shouldn't) contact ShawnW on here. He's the board admin, and owns a Subaru specialty shop. He can get it for you, im sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrazyslopoke Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 i checked out rock auto. they had a gasket but it wont fit my oil pump. im confused do i not need like an actual cork gasket? i have the mickey mouse O-ring deal but i thought i could get gasket too.

86BRATMAN Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I don't remember specifically on the ea82, but the ej engines use gasket glue on the oil pumps. It is far superior to any cork gasket material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Tere is no gasket beyond the mickey mouse seal. If it makes to feel better, apply a dab of ultra grey where the seam of the block goes behind the oil pump housing. There is a shaft seal, then the mickey, and just a round inner o-ring .This makes 3 total parts for the oil pump seals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 what he said - mickey mouse gasket, oring, and shaft seal. dabs of sealant (very small) go on oil pump housing at 12 noon and 6 oclock where the case halves meet if you look closely at the block. i suspect that step is probably skipped fairly often but it's in the FSM.

thecrazyslopoke Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 alright do I need to lube up the rings with oil upon re-installation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 a slight film of oil is good to ease installation. use a liberal amount on the trochoidial rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
