EA81 Oil Filter housing Gasket?


Recommended Posts

I just joined after lurking for a while to hopefully get some help with my new baby - a 1986 Brat. I picked it up last month with 70,000 original miles.

 

Does anyone know where I can find this? I'm new to early Subies so I'm not even sure what it looks like but my mechanic (whom I trust) insists it's needed. Google hasn't been my friend so far - can anyone help a noobie out?

 

Thanks

You want an oil pump gasket.Widely available.

There are 4 or 5 associated O rings that should be replaced at the same time.Dealer items.

I just paid $11 for the 5 or 6 parts.

Dealer has an oil pump reseal kit.I bought parts individualy.

A gasket isnt even needed for the oil pump.  Ive never used one.  

 

Toss it together with Permatex 51817 and call it a day.

 

51817 is an anaerobic gasket maker designed for machined surfaces.

 

This stuff....
