Default Cam Swap - Gaskets?

Swapping the cam on my car soon. Also taking the heads off to replace the lifters (and make it easier to do the springs while I am at it).

What Gaskets should I pick up?

Below is what is going in:

Camshaft
LS6 ported oil pump
LS2 timing chain
pushrods
springs
lifters
March UD pulley
Redtop SVOs

The engine has 120K on it.

Figure Id do the headgaskets while I have the heads off.

What else?

Thanks.

Check "cam swap" link in my sig for my general advice. 2-3 years old but still good.


Need a new water pump gasket, valve cover gaskets are fine to re-use.

Don't forget both a longer crank bolt for installing the pulley and a brand new, unused crank bolt of proper/normal length for final in stallation.
