Oil separator cover - what does it need?

Jan 06, 2006 3 Replies

Hi all



Now that I have my drive plate off, I noticed that the oil separator cover is cracked and weeped a little oil - the engine dropped some oil, nothing serious. This must have been the source. The old cover was plastic but the new one just received is aluminum.



What does one put in between this cover and the engine case? Some of that permatex RTV rubber or just a skim coat of gasget glue?



Thanks! Remco



Looking through the engine pdfs collected, I see Subaru recommends using "three bond 1215 or equivalent". Do you guys know what is equivalent? The places I've been to haven't heard of it (Is it a Subaru pn, maybe).

Answering my own questions - In searching, I found this equivalency table. I am not sure if it is correct:

Just posting it in case anyone else ever needs to know.

Thanks, Remco... I've bookmarked it!
