Don't do it :P

😂 I also searched "RS4", reckon I should avoid that too? 

 

Seeing constantly rising petrol prices plus incoming AC petrol taxes I should really be looking at something electric... 😏

 Congrats! 264 or 272, and did you get the matching springs?
Think it comes with everything. Also 264's but could be 272's I've not actually got the box yet. Should do Monday ish. I don't actually know which cams I'm getting.

How’s that work? Like a lolly scramble for car parts? Might get the one's you want but might not...

haha they'll be GDB AVCS cams, that are 264's or larger. I can't say definitely until I've got them in hand because they're free. and I'm sure as hell not gonna complain about anything that I get for free.

Hoooooly S***.

 

I did mine with none at all and they don't leak.

 

Yeah I usually just put a couple small dots at the edges of the plastic half moons.

 

This actually isn't the first set I've replaced on a Subaru that looked like this though haha. It is funny to me that during the process of doing this the culprits actually think that this is a good idea.

But it seals it all up good doesn’t it. More the better?

Spent ages picking RTV off the heads, why do people do this lol . The gaskets feel pretty new but they are leaking... I wonder why??? 🙄

I recently had this problem with my Legacy. Just couldn't get my rocker cover to seal. RTV, or not. 

Took it to my local mechanic, after failing 3 times myself (lol). They used an original Subaru gasket (not the Permaseal ones from Partmaster), and RTV in the normal places (plastic half moon cam seals, and in the 90° corners over the front cam caps), and it seals mint. Apparently, original Subaru ones are like 1mm thicker, which makes all the difference. 

 

Went to Owens Suspension & Brakes Specialists in Whangarei. They've been forever excellent to me.

Yeah the genuine cam cover seals are far superior to the likes of permaseal. I don't think they are any thicker from what I remember but they just fit the cover/head better, they are a half moon shape with a flat side to seal nicely against the head. The permaseal ones I have seen are more round/oval and don't make a nice contact with the head, they are also way harder to install as they try to fall out of the groove and then they get pinched if you aren't careful. 

 

The seals in my picture were actually genuine seals but whoever installed them just did a poor job and used WAY too much sealant. After picking off all the sealant from the head and adding a small amount of new sealant at half moons like you said it sealed perfectly with the new seals.

      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
