1995 Subaru Legacy L Wagon / Ej22 / 186K

 

So I have amassed a small mountain of parts for my Subaru.   I am doing a clutch swap / seals / oil separator plate / and general PM on this vehicle I just purchased.

 

I am ready to hit it hard this labor day weekend...BUT....

 

I ordered the OEM oil sep plate and the OEM 6 bolts for the oil sep plate (801506040) which I picked up of a schematic of the motor.

 

Seems that when Subaru changed to the metal sep plate they now use (800406140) for the bolts. (The plastic plate used countersunk screws)

 

I ordered the wrong ones.....

 

I am going to check the local Subaru dealer tomorrow....but I am quite sure they won't have them in stock.

 

Anyone out there have the specifics of length, thread, pitch of these bolts.   I could try and source them locally.   I also don't have a picture of the 800406140 to see what they look like.

 

Any ideas would be great...otherwise I will spent my weekend looking at the engine on the hoist.

 

Thanks for any and all ideas.

It is generally a stock item. Check.

 

They are the same pitch and length of the countersunk ones, just with a rounded hex head screw.

 

O.

The bolts are M6x1.0, not sure on the length but very short. My favorite bolts to use for the separator plate are oil pan bolts.

Exactly the idea I was looking for.   This way I can grab one of the bolt from the oil pan and go on my search to the hardware store!   Thanks a million.

Dealers keep the plate and screws in stock because those things get replaced all the time. 20 years worth of Subaru engines use that plate, and every one of them leaks.

Not here in the Annapolis Maryland area....none to be found.   Anyone have any objections to puhi's suggestion above.   I pulled one and they fit like a glove.   I am thinking 6 new ones, and some loc-tite...and I am off and running.
