V3 STI RA Rocker cover gaskets


Recommended Posts

  • Subscribed Member

Hey all,

 

So my rocker covers and sump are leaking like crazy. 

I'd like to order some replacements before pulling the motor and doing some maintenance before 4s and Rotors SI Champs.

Now I searched TradeMe for a v3 RA, and crabbed the chassis code, then entered that in partsouq, and it gave me three options for it, linked below:

https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/unit?c=Subaru&ssd=%24*KwFsWElUDBMMawkrHgxeOTQgAAcZaGdqa3lvch5vGScrHyN4YSsvfG9qaXxzeiolMzduanokICkYISVgN2R9Hxpmb25uMDomfHN6PHxlam80Ozl8JnpjfBp6JwAAAAAmCH8U%24&vid=0&cid=&uid=32280&q=GC8-064733

 

 

I'm honestly not too sure which one it'll be? I could pull a cover and confirm, but I'd much rather not. 

 

I can't just use my Chassis ID, as I just have a BC5 and they're Shim-under-bucket heads that I'm told were from a V3 STI RA.

 

Any ideas before I give in and pull the covers to confirm?

Cheers!

Honestly, just pull a cover and save yourself the hassle of getting it wrong. Even Winger couldn't tell me what gasket I needed when I gave them my plate number so it's easier to just take it in and match it.

So I took your advice and just did that, but instead of pulling the cover, I pulled the whole engine 🤣

 

 

It's also leaking from the sump, and the up pipe gasket, so figured easier to clean it all up outside of the car. 

The answer to the question is the first gasket set in that link earlier

So for future reference the gaskets are (pricing from Amayama):
13270AA062 $29.65

13272AA063 $31.77

 

The bolts are $800706630 $1.46

Bolt washers 13271AA051 $1.36

plug tube gaskets are 132933AA030 $6.03

On another note, I was amazed at how clean the oil and the heads were in general. 
This motor has maybe 2,000KM on it, but all of those KM were flat out, no break-in period etc.

Haha nice one!

 

I think PBMS do a cork sump gasket - I haven't had mine leak yet so that could be a go.

 

Genuine gaskets are similar price I believe but the bolts and bolt washers are hugely expensive.

Oh really? Hmm, could be tempting, it's a PBMS baffled sump, not that it really matters. 
Annoyingly one of the bolts has had the head snapped off it when I gave it the tiniest tweak with a 1/4 ratchet the other day, so will need to pull the rest of that out, hopefully it comes out nicely!

 

Will have a chat to PBMS and see if they have any of the gaskets. 

 

Yeah, I recall the washers being like $4 each or something the last time I went to get some. 
These were all 3rd party ones, so going genuine this time!

 

I've just emailed my local dealer and seeing if they have any of the stuff. 
Amayama will be 2+ weeks, so if I can pay a little more and get it from the dealer, then i'll happily do that.

My local dealer got back to me, I'll be ordering the gaskets through them, but not the washers or bolts :)

rocker cover gaskets: $26.45 each

Tube gaskets: $11.90 each 

 

I'm happy with those, but the washers and bolts:
Bolts: $3.51 each

washers: $7.94 each

 

I don't really need those two, so will skip them :)

Nice man - I ordered same bits and skipped the bolts and washers at that price haha.

 

I have same sump too and it just came with the cork gasket - I'm sure they'd make you one up.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
