October 22, 200322 yr Looking for Head Gasket kit and whatever seals I need for the front end. Anybody know of a good place with good deals? -Brian
October 22, 200322 yr I get mine over at Cut Rate Auto Parts on Capitol Blvd. in Olympia. If I was in Sacremento, I would call your favorite parts (auto) stores and ask for prices and makers. As sticker shock is setting in, quickly call the dealer and get a price, suddenly all the others will be a bargain. Then pick a brand name you trust.
October 22, 200322 yr Yes standard gaskets will work head, cam cover, cam seals but you will need the gasket for the turbo to downpipe, the multi port intake gaskets and I'm pretty sure there is no crank seal in the head set or oil pump seals.
October 22, 200322 yr the folks that have the subaru EA82 gasket sets have a sight and i ordered the "head set" for replaceing a set of heads on a turbo. the kit cost $88. total with shipping. I installed the set. discovered a leaky exhaust or so I thought. Called them and asked how good their parts warrantty is as when i took the head off the gasket seperated in two areas. They said without seeing it and the fact that I had the engine running a maximum of 6-8 minutes total that they wouldn't make a call on it until they had a chance to look at it. A week later I recieved an email with an appalogy and an offer to crdit my card or send a new one in its place... i of course took the new one and installed it. Well its in a nice and slick but, we narrowd the leak down to a crack somewhere in the block :>( brand of stuff some is felpro and Apex in California here's their site: gasket folks
October 22, 200322 yr Author Yeah, ive seen that page in the past. Found it while surfing eBay. Maybe i'll shoot them an email. -brian
October 22, 200322 yr why not I've delt with them resently maybe they'll be ever better for you? eh who knows.
October 22, 200322 yr Bought a complete valve-grind gasket set thru the local parts store, around $125.00. Had every gasket in it from the head gasket out, for carbed, SPFI, MPFI, and Turbo gaskets, including the cam seals. Performance Automotive, part of the Bumper-to-Bumper chain.
October 22, 200322 yr These prices are current from Emily at CCR as of 10/10/03. I'm doing the same thing with my EA82T. Cam seals - 2 @ 5.50 Cam o-rings - 2 @ 2.77 Cam tower o-rings - 2 @ 2.20 Timing belt tensioners, 23.45 & 23.67 Idler bearing - 44.75 Timing belts - 21.56 & 25.16 Valve cover gaskets - 4.40 & 3.20 Valve cover bolt seals - 9 @ 1.50 Front main seal - 5.05 Rear main seal - 11.10 Water pump - 29.95 Oil pump - 59.95 Oil pump gasket - 3.95 Oil pan gasket - 3.66 Intake manifold gaskets - 2 @ 6.20 Valve stem seals (optional) 15.00/set Oil filler tube gasket - .75 Hope this helps. The prices seem competitive with local prices, and it's the same gaskets and such they use for their rebuilds. See anything I missed? Regards, Jay
October 22, 200322 yr I have done business with both GasketPro and CCR Inc. I can recommend both places. Headgasket is different between turbo and N/A. I would use a turbo gasket on an N/A car, but not the other way around. Definately only use a turbo headgasket from Subaru. The only genuine part that I insist on using. Good luck! Maybe I can give you a hand while I'm out there?
October 22, 200322 yr "Are those prices for OEM?" Check out their website Give them a call, best way to get info from them. Very friendly people.
October 22, 200322 yr Thanks for the link, Toybuilder. I'm going to check out more on the gaskets. IIRC, Emily said that most of them were OEM or Felpro. Jay
