Hmm, I geuss that depends on the extent of the "rebuild"; however, look at it like this - for every part (pretty much) you remove you will also be removing a seal or gasket. IE" Exhaust Manifold = exhasut manifold gasket, sump = sump gasket, head = head gasket and so forth. So figure out what you will be removing and that wwill pretty much tell you what gaskets seals you'll need for the most part.

I can't help but good luck with the project. If you can do a video or even still photos of progress it would be very interesting.
I love the M112 and 113 engines.

As above it depends what you remove.
If it's an engine out rebuild always replace engine rear main seal, gearbox input seal and front timing seal. While you're at it check frost plugs and replace if necessary.
Two Rules of thumb.
The harder it is to get to the more it's recommended to change it whilst in that area.
Also the harder it is to get to the more I would recommend using genuine parts.
