If it helps its a built 2.5 with wrx heads

This is where im at...i know im going to need cam seals and valve cover gaskets along with header...but what else?

whats this small seal that looks like its after the oil pump?

Finally does anyone just make a gasket kit with everything i can buy?

You can buy a factory gasket set from the dealer.

www.thekingofparts.com. Call and ask for Tristan. Got all my stuff there, great prices, speedy service.

You're probably also gonna want to do a full set of exhaust gaskets. Turbo to DP, all UP gaskets, and manifold gaskets. Tristan can help you sort it all out, he's a real good guy;)

You remembered to put the headgaskets on, right? ;)

haha yeah commetics with arp's holding thoes heads on.

Is your oil pump already mounted or did you just bolt it up temporarirly?

You need to install the crank oil seal before you mount it and did you install the small o-ring that goes between the oil pump and the block ?

+1 for complete STI engine gasket set. You'll still need valve cover / cam gaskets L and R, valve cover bolt gasket/o-ring things (x16 i think), intercooler/bov gaskets, plus all the exhaust gaskets mentioned above. def do ur uppipe w/ new. Don't forget to clean out the oil cooler real good b/c any oil on that big red gasket/seal and it'll expand before u get it on. hope this helps

The oil pump is olny mocked up...that small o ring gasket goes between the block and oil pump? ans what should i use ultra black silicone behind the oil pump?

Do you have a service manual? If not you definately need to find one. Search hard enough and you can find an online copy.


I use the subaru fuji-bond instead of permatex.

Just got done with my hybrid, look at the stickey of the 2.5 master gasket in this forum. I used the following numbers (block was already built so I used none of the gaskets for the block assy):
14,15,16,17,32,33,34,35,39,41,45,46,50,51,52,54
hope this helps

yeah I checked that out but im to the point where I need spesific gaskets and dont know whats left. I know i need cam seals, water pump gasket, o ring behind oil pump, and valve cover. Any thing else you guys see I need??

I would add spark plug hole gaskets (4), valve cover washers (16), tumbler valve to block (2) and intake to tumbler (2). Also you can use hondabond verses fuji bond. Usually more available and a little bit cheaper. If you have to do the oil pan I would just get a tube (caulking gun size) of triple bond from subaru. cost about 48.00
