first of all your standard rims are 13 inch not 14 so you'll need to get new wheels fabricated to take 205r14 60 tyres.

 

second i paid $144 for a full head set of gaskets about 3 months ago, the full gasket set was $260 (i didn't get it as i didn't need it)

 

frnt and rear crank seals $13 rear $5 front

 

std turbo pistons where quoted @ $180 with chrome rings

 

i got moly rings for $125 if i remember right

 

Bowden Engine Parts is where i get all my bits from

That is definitely a very high price for a gasket set. I'm getting most gaskets for a complete rebuild of my ea81t from archibalds subaru...

Head gaskets...$30ea

intake gaskets...about $5 ea

Sump gasket....about $12

exhaust gaskets... about $5 ea

 

And those are the expensive ones, the rest are mostly under $5.

 

As for 14 inch wheels... they do exist, you just have to find some. I know someone who may want to sell some for the right price if your interseted..
