Best Gasket set of not OEM

Featured Replies

I'm about to reseal a 1992 Loyale ea82 ,I'm looking for a master gasket set and OEM is not available .What gasket set do most use as far as head gaskets etc?

Fel Pro

 

What I would do is the following:

 

Fel Pro headgaskets, valve cover gaskets, and valve cover grommets

 

Intake manifold gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, water pump gasket, and cam carrier orings should be from Subaru.  (though i have rarely seen the cam carrier oring through online suppliers)

 

Crank seal, cam seal, cam carrier orings, and oil pump reseal bits I'd also get from Subaru but that's more out of preference than physical limitations.  Although I have seen new aftermarket seals leak before on EA82's/ER27's, and they've been notably off in size and i think someone even posted a thread with pictures i mic'ed them before.

 

 

That leaves out upper manifold gaskets, throttle body gaskets, fuel injector seals - things that don't really ever leak. 

And maybe EGR - would want to replace those if applicable. 

^Agreed

 

 

 

FYI, for future reference. We consider the Loyale to be an Old-Gen car here even though it overlaps with the Legacy and such. If you have future questions, you'll probably get more traffic on the Old-gen section.

Fel Pro head gaskets, head set, and conversion kit. Except use oem intake manifold gaskets.

 

And yes, more answers in old gen sub forum.

it is confusing because it's titled "1990's" but it's meant as "1990's Legacy's..." rather than *any* 1990's Subarus. 

 

the EA/ER vehicles (Loyale, XT, GL's) of the 1990's are wwaaaaaaay different than the 1990+ Legacy and impreza vehicles.  So yeah those EA/ER vehicles like yours are under the "older generation" forum here.
