Re: engine rebuild
i went to shopsubaruparts. and found this "Overhaul gasket set, svx - 3.3l, svx - 3.3L, SVX" does this include all the gaskets needed for engine rebuild?

Re: engine rebuild
The gasket set allows you to replace all of the seals and soft parts while rebuilding an engine, but doesn't include anything mechanical. For a proper rebuild to like new condition it's going to take a lot more parts and a LOT more money. New crank and rod bearings, new piston rings, rebuilt block and heads, timing belt, water pump... blah blah blah. Lots of work.

Re: engine rebuild
Machine work :Turn/regrind the crank . Hone the piston walls or bore them out,,Valve job. , plane the heads (not always necessary ) and what he said above . I rebuilt 5 motors and it is a lot of work and money.

Re: engine rebuild
That kit includes more seals/gaskets than you'll ever want to change at your level (eg. valve seals). I would sooner use it, if you need it now, and fix stuff as needed.
