I think your waterpump gaskets are re-usable.

Also- exhaust gaskets for your headers or manifolds..

Yeah, I was hoping to reuse the gaskets for my Bassani's (looked like a better gasket than the GM one).

I have Bassani Headers also.. the gaskets fell apart when I removed the headers, and the stock GM gaskets worked fine.

My waterpump gaskets fell apart when I removed my pump. Best to have a spare set of gaskets.

Default Heads Installation (Confirm parts needed)

I'm going to be doing a heads swap on my 2001 Camaro and I need to confirm that I have everything before hand. I got this grocery list from JMX's web site :

- 16 Long "M-11" Headbolts PN 12560744
- 4 Short "M-11" Headbolts PN 12560745
- 10 "M-8" Headbolts PN 12558840 replacement
- Drivers side Head gaskets PN 12558809
- Passenger side head gasket PN 12558810
- 2 AIR tube gaskets PN 12553617
- 1 EGR gasket PN 12553047
- Water pump gaskets PN 12559271 (2 needed)
- Dexcool compatible coolant
- 6 quarts of oil, new filter

Do I need anything else ? How soon do I change the oil after a heads swap ?

Thanks in advance
