Rick (rtcb65) or Brett (Outback Bloke) are 2 people I can think off hand that could point you in the right direction but I'm sure some others are around :)

There is a place called boxer services in brendale (not quite close but shouldn't be too far) It would be worth giving them a call as they have been great for all my other old subaru needs...not sure on their reco abilities as I am not getting mine done there but they seemed to know the engine inside and out so I am sure they would be more than capable

Can I ask who is doing the reassembly?

What are you doing to the engine? Lifting compression, ported heads etc?
Regards

well that is a good question, i am not very good with engines so not me for the reassembly. As for what to do i don't know really i probably should have asked that question as well at the start of this thread. i thought a recondition was to basically bring your engine back to its original new condition? But any suggestions on that to would be of a great help to.
