Plain Jane OEM nothing to see here rebuild

[JustJeff]

The engine is being re-rebuilt to fix the coolant seal leak. The engine has about 2k on the break-in of 4k because I replaced the stat gear bearings. I'll start getting the engine ready to pull very soon.

Here is my shopping list thus far, let me know if I'm missing anything:

O-ring kit, there is a more expensive one but I believe this one has everything I'll need

Front gasket cover, though I may do the RX-8 modded cover. There is always the chance that I botch the modded RX-8 gasket. Trying to decide if I want to add variables where they are not really needed.

Oil pan gasket

I'd like opinions on whether to replace my exhaust gaskets, both engine to manifold and manifold to turbo. I put new ones on shortly after my rebuild so they have less than 2k miles on them.

Sorry to hear it didn't end well...

Yeah, just need to replace the soft seals.
The metal (exhaust) gaskets can be reused.
As long as there is no signs of cracking on the inside edges, the metal gaskets are fine to reuse.
