Hi, new to Subarus but not bending wrenches. Daughter has a nice 06 Legacy (limited GT, auto, N/A, 148k) and it started overheating and missing. Pulled the engine and have pulled the heads off.
Looks like the passenger side had a blown head gasket. Planning on taking the heads to be pressure tested, inspected and machined. What else should I do while to engine is pulled?
I need to order the following parts but what brands are preferred or should I avoid? Recommendations on venders or sites?
-head gaskets
-gasket kits
-CV half shafts
-timing belt, water pump, thermostat
-transmission fluid and filter
-diff fluid
-exhaust from y pipe back
Not looking to make it a hot rod, just a dependable vehicle.
