Edit - 95 legacy not a 94.

 

Doing t-belt job. Got the covers off and I only have one gasket in b/w them- the one on driver side lower down. Are there supposed to be others? How many and anyone have a link or part numbers to buy em? Dealer best? Thx!!!

i'm not sure, but i don't worry about them.

if the gasket is there and usable , i use it.

if missing or messed up, i don't use it.

 

some folks run without covers at all.

don't sweat it.

there really arent any gaskets between the inner & outer covers - or at least none are really needed. The only place there is supposed be a gasket is on the center cover (outer) at the bottom, but even that is not a necessity, and it often gets misaligned when installing.

 

The two end covers sometimes have a thin layer of a foam type seal along the edge that meets the center cover, but again - not a necessity.

 

There are several smaller rubber seals & grommets on the back side of the back covers (that touch the block)  - the only way I know of to get those is either from the dealer, or by purchasing a complete rebuild gasket set that will have every gasket, seal and o-ring needed to rebuild the entire engine (can often be found on ebay for around $50-60).

 

You could leave the covers off and the car will run just fine - many here "run naked", myself included - just be aware that there is the potential for problems in certain conditions - such as deep snow (been there, done that) Your 95 is still a non-interference engine, so no damage will occur if it should jump timing, but it is no fun trying to correct jumped timing in the dead of winter.

The short answer is, "more than one can guess". There were year-to-year changes as well, both to covers and gaskets. I did try to source all of them when working on my '95, and it was a success except for the gasket behind the right-side cover which I couldn't find. Fortunately, it was foam and could be replaced with 1/8" weatherstripping. In the hindsight, that was a pain and  probably not necessary. But if you do want all of them changed, go to opposedforces and get the numbers.
