Re: Resealing the motor
The SVX mounts cost around $200 each, while the WRX mounts are more like $60 each. Plus the WRX mounts are stiffer, stronger, last longer, and are not filled with oil.

Re: Resealing the motor
So, total cost of the main seals and cam seals/plugs? I don't remember specifically, but each seal is <$10, so maybe $50?

Re: Resealing the motor
So this thread is a little bit old, but I was wondering what exactly you used as a cleaner and brushes to get the engine that clean. I'm getting ready to pull/reseal mine next week and I would like to get it as clean as possible.
Also, how did you get to everything that was under the intake manifold?

To get under the intake manifold, I basically just soaked it down with Gunk and let it sit a while. Then with the motor tilted at 90 deg on the engine stand and with a big old plastic bin under it to collect the run-off, I just hosed it down w/ the pressure washer. I used a similar technique on the rest of the motor to get into spots like the spark plug access holes, around the oil pan, etc. Most of the hard scrubbing was on parts that came off the motor for cleaning, like the power-steering pump, which got washed in my kitchen sink w/ hot water, dish soap, and a brass brush. Since I had to do this in my garage (it was Jan and too cold to do it outside) I think I spent more time mopping up the garage after using the pressure washer indoors than I did actually cleaning the motor. My advice would be to park the engine stand in the back-yard in a kiddy pool.
