I must be missing something - I've looked around the board, looked through the Subaru shop manual (perhaps I didn't download the correct page for the answer to this question) and also the Haynes manual - I can't tell how the little rubber half moon gasket/plug widget's are identified - the ones on the valve cover side of the head in two places. I need to order new ones, and thought I might as well look stupid here before I call 1stsubaruparts and ask for "the little rubber half moon dealies"

Welcome to the USMB.

 

I don't know the specific name for those parts. I looked breifly through the parts catalog I have, and didn't find those things. What year and model subaru do you have?

Thanks for the reply - it's a 97 Outback

Well I can't seem to find it in any of the diagrams. I'm sure it's listed in the gasket & seal part numbers, but without pictures, I don't know what is what. You may have to call the dealer on this one.

there called the half moon dealy ma bobs, that go between the thing a ma jig and the hoozy whatzit

 

Oh wait thats the wrong cupertulater...

 

here try this suby part (I am holding one in my hot little hand right now)

 

PLUG-CYL HEAD #11051AA070

 

provided that is what your talking about. not sure if they are different from 22 to a 25 but they should be the same.

Thanks Mugs, that's it - searching with the part no. brought up this handy little site that would have answered my question if I had found it first - http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b11/type_45/engine/cylinder_head/illustration_1/ - the page is for the cylinder head components but gives parts numbers for all
