Help-engine tear down head gasket

[Newguy304]

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. 
 

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

All or most of those answers are on here, read some of the sticky's at the tops of the forums. Look in the DIY forum too.

There is a sticky about "various parts" in the top of this forum with lots of info that most people forget about.

 

Also OEM engine gasket set and ARP head studs. You can look at my "click here" link in my sig for some help.

a 2006 legacy gt but not a turbo? huh?

 

head gaskets, OE or sixstar

gasket kits, oe, mahle, victor reinz

cv's, OE if available or trakmotive; if you get the HD trakmotives you need to replace both

timing belt kit with water pump, OE or aisin, thermostat: OE, not a murray!

fluids, dealers choice since you say it's not a race car...same for the exhaust.

 

After replacing these head gaskets, change your oil every 3000 miles or you'll be doing head gaskets again.
