this has probably been hashed over a million times, so here goes a million and one ...

 

what parts besides the oil pump are needed to be bought from the subaru dealer for a complete 1991 EA82 spfi engine reseal,

seems like there's some gaskets or O-rings or something that also need to come from the dealer, maybe some cooling hoses?

but for the life of me, I can't remember what they are.

 

my car is dying and I found someone to put a good engine together for me, but I need to get all the parts for them.

 

so far, I got a good set of heads, a good block, a complete timing belt kit, felpro head gaskets and a pan gasket.

 

thanks

the lower cam tower metal reinforced oring (one per side)  i've seen a few places, like thepartsbin.com (if they even still exist) - that carry them, but it's rare.

 

the metal clip on orings in the cam towers.  XT6's have one at every port - i think EA82's only have the large oval one - some headsets have them so they are available aftermarket.

 

intake manifold gaskets - they have a coolant passage through them and aftermarkets are flimsy/thin/prone to leak.

 

i'd buy crank, cam, and rear main seals from Subaru - i've had aftermarket seals not seat very well and leak shortly after install on the older EA engines.  never had it happen with EJ's.

Altrom brand products from NAPA are OEM quality.
