I think you're good then. I'm assuming a front cover seal is in with the gaskets. A little RTV for the cover and make sure you clean out the head bolt holes really well. Have fun!

You need to be careful when installing the spring kit. Borrow a spring install height checker & check all the cylinders. Our spring kits setup @ 1.800" on every hole, but I've heard of people having different install heights with that spring kit. Make sure your at 1.800" so you dont have any spring failures.
