Time to pull the motor

[SVX10]

I'm going to be pulling my engine so that I can replace various items including

Timing belt
water pump
thermostat
engine mounts

I'd like to know which seals I can replace simultaneously, and easily. I'm not looking to do a full teardown. I'm under the impression that I can do the main seal, cam seals, and cam caps. What about rear main seal? Also, what part numbers from Subaruparts.com are they, and what quantity do I need?

Thanks!

subaruparts.com has a full gasket set you can buy which (I believe) includes everything for a full gasket and seal replacement.

Yup, here you go: 10105AA060 is the number. Includes about 50 seals and gaskets, $240.

Rear main. DOIT nooooooowwwwwww.

That gasket kit is good, too. Something like $250 last I checked.

SVX10, why would you want to replace the cam caps? I didn't think they were wearable parts....are they normally replaced?

rocker cover bolt gaskets!

they do leak. I HIGHLY suggest just getting the engine seal kit for simplicity. They also have new timing cover gaskets in it... Just so much there. If you wanted to pull the heads and send them to a machine shop to get milled, you could ask them to clean up the valves and replace your valve seals at the same time. This is what I would do since the seal kit comes with new valve seals too

Tom, perhaps we are referring to two different things. From my understanding the cam caps are simply the caps that secure the camshaft to the cylinder head. I do not see how the cam caps would leak? Perhaps you were referring to the bolts with the rubber gaskets that secure the valve cover?

[TomsSVX]

cam caps I am referring to are the plugs that seal the top(intake) cams. Caps do wear though as most of the load of the cam rides on the cap

... I would assume an equal load, however they're also typically location specific and would not be replaceable items unless you were to align hone the new ones which is a PITA and expensive. It is the only "proper" way if you were to lose one, or not label where the camshaft bearing caps.

The end caps are easily replaceable and should be anytime you are in there anyway.

[TomsSVX]

No way there is equal load. Take a look at the journals and you will see it is about 1/16th of an inch on the head side while the cap is closer to 1/2"

Thanks for the input everybody. I'm not going to get the entire seal kit, though, as I only plan to replace the front and rear main seals (is there a front main seal? I couldn't find it in the subaruparts.com diagrams).

Here's what I'm getting so far

Water Pump
Thermostat
Thermostat gasket
water pump gasket
Timing belt
Cam plugs
Radiator hose inlet
Radiator hose outlet
Oil seal (part # 806786040 - I THINK this is the rear main seal)
Oil Seal (part #806733030 - I THINK this is the front crank seal)
Oil seal 32x45x8 (part #806732150 - cam seals?)
Valve cover gaskets

Any critical seals missing that I might as well do while I'm in there (remember...I'm not taking the engine apart...)?

You shouldn't have to pull the motor to do those, with the exception of the rear main. While you have the motor out, it'd be a good idea to also replace the torque converter seal in the transmission, it's not that expensive and it's just as much of a pain in the ass as the rear main if it starts leakin.

But all that stuff is A LOT easier with the motor out, I'd also do the spark plugs as well.

The shop I work at is uber busy right now, but it'll be dead in Jan/Feb. I plan on pulling the motor out of the SVX for a complete seals/gasket job, T-belt, water pump...Before Feb 23rd though, because I'm doing a performance winter driving school
