Now has anyone purchased the Engine gasket and seal kit for $240 on subaru's website?....And what does it consist of?....there is no description?

At the same time, I will have my timing belt replaced.....since the engine will be more accessible, what else should I have replaced?....I'm thinking oil pump and water pump....but I read somewhere that there are 4 cam seals, oil pump crank seal, valve cover gaskets, front engine seals......am I missing anything else??

Sorry if these questions have been asked a thousand times before.........Im still a N00b though!


Thanks all,

wash the engine from all oil, drive it for around 1 hour and then check again where the oil is coming from... you should save some $ at the mechanic's shop if he tries to rip you off by stating that your car needs gaskets, seals, pumps, etc........ whereas it only needs some of those.... you will know what you need, buy them and take them to your mechanic.... trust me
