2.2 Valve cover gaskets

[MarkSubi]

What’s the best route to go to when it comes to putting new valve cover gaskets on? I have the EJ22 and I need to replace the gaskets on mine but would like to know if it would be wise to order something through pepboys or advance or get a high performance set or what have you.

i literally just did this to my 2.2L about 6 weeks ago. Use oem gaskets and get new grommets and spark plug gaskets too. just like doing spark plugs in terms of removing intake for pas side and washer bottle/tery on drivers side. I think it took me about 2 hlurs going slow and cleaning everything real good.

Ight cool, will do.

I did mine recently (within 2 weeks). I removed the batt, intake, and washer bottle. I purchased an AutoZone gasket kit and I've had no problems with size and (as of now) failure. Depends on your budget and how long you intend to keep the car.

Yeah I plan on keeping the subie for a very long time but the motor its self is the mistey of how long it will be in my car lol but yeah.
