actionman Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 right, as some of you know may know i've recently bought the Impreza back that I sold last year, albeit with a couple of problems that weren't there when i sold it! 1 of the problems was there was white smoke coming from around the turbo area. It did it on the test drive & it did it when i drove it home. It then did it a few days later when i had it running on the drive although it stopped after a few mins. Anyways i fired it up again today & it started smoking again so drove it round to mates garage so i could get it over the pit. What it looks like is the offside rocker cover gasket is leaking & dripping oil onto the manifold pipes. So what i want to know is what rocker cover gasket kits are recommended? Been looking at FAI kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah common problem mate , big of a pain job I've always used subaru gaskets as all the rest just weeped after a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'd have a look on here http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts.asp?page=1&cat=96⊂=97&sec=143&var=60&dc=0&gen=&searchKey= Id make sure you get the "half moons" as well cos they get brittle over time . I'd also consider changing the spark plugs (if their due ) as you'll have good access when it's stripped to do the rockers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 and a little bit of gasket sealant for the half moons and corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionman Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 ok thanks guys, i have been looking at full kits with half moons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggs Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 i was looking into this when i got mine and everywhere i looked people were saying genuine gaskets will do the job properly and loctite 5699 grey sealant, i have used the sealant on many things since and it is by far one of the best sealants i've ever used 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
