🔧 Improved SEO: Beck Arnley Valve Cover Gasket Set 036-1902 Review

Replaced both sides on my 02 WRX and still no leaks. I ordered a tube of Honda Bond to seal it. I also swapped out the oil separator gaskets over the valve covers that I got from the dealership.

Best seals on the market. On these and all other brands, be sure to apply RTV sealant to the risers on the end cam covers. Just a good frosting to prevent leaks. The corners, regardless of the manufacturer, do not always seal perfectly, as there are casting defects with every motor head.

After entering all the information/specs for my machine, there were still no correct seals for the machine. Luckily I bought the right and left oil seals from a local dealership two months ago but the only thing was that the oil seals didn't come with other small parts so I decided to order the full set online.

My mechanic was able to fit them to both the left and right of my 2002 WRX. This eliminated an annoying oil leak that got really annoying as it dripped straight onto the hot exhaust, so the smoke didn't come out until 15 minutes after it was parked every time the car drove a short distance. Time will tell if they will last another 70,000 years like the originals. So far I see no reason to deduct a star.

Installed on my 02 WRX, great fit - quality/complete kit from Beck Arnley. I've been liberal with RTV, although most people say it's not necessary, but only on round surfaces (crescents, corners). Mine doesn't leak at all so I'm very happy to use a bit more RTV than not enough :) You must consider getting oil separator gaskets that sit on top of the valve covers with breathing hoses attached.
