Thought I would start this rather than further derail the Solo Thread.

I really hope the crank didn't get too damaged. I read that replacing the oil pump is necessary after a bearing failure (?). I also need...

New timing belt with tensioners
New water pump
Cam seals (stockers are leaking)
Gasket kit after splitting block
Headstuds
Clutch (pretty sure my stocker is going)
and the bearings

I can't afford pistons and rods, but I have read that the STi rods are pretty stout. So if they are in good shape I wouldn't mind reusing them. I would hate to have a ringland failure after all this (the car is at 85k) so I was thinking pistons. Still unsure, money is a huge deciding factor. And I want to look at my oil pick up and make sure it isn't looking weak, that would suck to have break after a rebuild.

Anybody with advice chime in, I wasn't planning on doing a motor right now so I hadn't done much research.
