Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application and production date before ordering, especially for 1997 and 1998 Subaru Impreza and 1997 Subaru Legacy listings with date-specific fitment notes. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly before installation and inspect the valve cover for warpage or damage that could affect sealing. Confirm the gasket profile matches the engine configuration listed for your vehicle.
