Also FWIW 99% of the gaskets are reusable. I just did my cam at 119k and only replaced the water pump gaskets and just cleaned and used silicone on the rest of the gaskets. I have had no problems whatsoever.

Ls1howto has a nice write up including some part #'s:

I did mine at about 110k. Even though the gaskets can be reused I replaced everything I could to be safe. I even replaced the cam retainer plate because it comes with a new lifter oil galley gasket built in.
