Fel-Pro valve cover gasket set VS 50780R for Subaru Outback (2006–2012) — cork-rubber complete kit

Fel-Pro VS 50780 R is a complete valve cover gasket set engineered to restore a leak-free seal on compatible Subaru and Saab 9-2X engines.

When a leaking valve cover gasket allows oil to escape or dirt to enter the top end of your engine, the Fel-Pro VS 50780 R set provides the vehicle-specific parts and a conformable cork-rubber compound designed for repair conditions. Fel-Pro builds these sets to accommodate imperfect sealing surfaces and includes every gasket and small component required for the job unless otherwise noted. The result is a repair kit used by technicians that balances durable materials and tested fitment for a range of Subaru vehicles from the mid-2000s through early 2010s.

Which cars and engine years does this Fel-Pro kit fit?

The VS 50780 R valve cover gasket set covers a defined group of Subaru models and a single Saab application from the 2006–2012 era. Compatibility depends on engine, trim, and year, so confirm fitment for your vehicle using detailed vehicle-entry tools before ordering.

• Fits select 2006 Subaru Baja and Saab 9-2X (2006)
• Fits Subaru Forester (2006–2010), Impreza (2006–2011)
• Fits Subaru Legacy (2006–2012) and Outback ranges (2006–2009, 2010–2012)
• Always verify year, make, model, engine and trim for a confirmed fit

How does the Fel-Pro gasket set handle imperfect sealing surfaces?

Fel-Pro engineered this set with a proprietary cork-rubber compound that is highly conformable to mating surfaces. That flexibility allows the gasket to accommodate minor warpage, surface irregularities, and age-related wear that could otherwise create leaks after a repair.

• Cork-rubber formulation for compression and rebound
• Conformability reduces risk of gaps on worn valve covers
• Tightly seals oil passages and bolt rows to prevent seepage

What parts are included and how does this make repair easier?

Fel-Pro valve cover gasket sets are supplied to provide the necessary sealing components for a complete top-end service. Including the correct gaskets and related small parts simplifies installation and lowers the chance of missing a critical piece that could cause an immediate or near-term failure.

• Complete gasket set for both valve covers as applicable to the engine
• Ancillary seals and pieces included unless otherwise specified
• Reduces the need to source individual replacement pieces

Are these gaskets proven on the road and how do I confirm fit before buying?
