September 30, 200520 yr Anybody know if the timing cover gaskets are the same on the 2.2 and 1.8 engine ? Rubber gaskets that go between the 2 cover halves on the 95. thanks
October 1, 200520 yr My guess is that they probably are the same, the reason being that when I cracked the center timing cover for my 2.2, I went to a local Subaru junkyard, and found a 1.8L Impreza engine that had the exact same center timing belt cover. The gasket, then, must be the same? Am I wrong?? Big D

Last owner put sealer all over top of gasket covers cause he over tightened the 3 bolts on each side and back halfs had the nuts pulled right out of them. Think he used the sealer just to hold the 2 halves together.The way they fit together it will not look like you need a seal betweem them at all. I think they just keep the road dust and water off of the belts.
