I have been browsing these forums for months collecting plenty of great info and am almost prepared to begin my head gasket job on my 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback (EJ25D engine). Many threads/links have helped put the list together, but I have not come across one which is complete and has all of the part numbers.
I would like to buy the Subaru HG part # 11044AA610 but am unable to find it in a kit, so would have to piece together the other gaskets & seals needed - but it has proven difficult finding the correct part numbers for each optimal seal/gasket which has made me consider going with the Fel Pro HG kit for $150 which includes the valve cover gaskets, grommets, intake/exhaust manifold gaskets, oil pump o-ring, plus others ??? Also not sure which part number for this kit is correct for my engine.
Is there a 610 HG kit available? If not, if I also were to buy a proper Valve Gasket Kit would it include all the other seals/gaskets which come with the Fel Pro kit? (most Kits list some of the gaskets/seals included but not all of them... so who is to know what's included) I really want to avoid buying every seal & gasket separately.
In addition to those, I believe what I need is: Front/Rear camshaft seals, front main seal, and if not in the Valve cover kit then also park plug tube seals/gaskets, half moon gaskets, oil pump seal & o-ring... Am I missing anything? And does anyone have part numbers for those?
I understand not to replace the rear main seal or head bolts. Not sure if I will replace my water pump or not, but probably will since I'm in there.
Of course I will purchase a Timing Belt Kit as well (probably off ebay) but again there are various choices. These two seem good... are they, and which is the better?

As far as special tools I have my Haynes manual, Ultra Grey sealant, torque wrench, feeler gauge, 12-sided 14mm socket, and engine hoist. Missing anything?
Thanks in advance!
