Don't use any other gasket set than genuine Subaru. These aren't an easy build and you don't want to have to do it all again.
Be very careful separating the block halves. We see a lot of damage done by screwdrivers, chisels, hatchets etc. I swear I've seen teeth marks on some!
If you duff the dowels up you might as well throw it away..

You can buy replacement dowels so don't see why a blocks scrap just because of a damaged dowel?
