yea man you should add head gaskets, head bolts, lifters and WITH OUT A DOUBT A OIL PUMP...i put my cam in with stock pump and stock lifters and my oil only gets to 60psi at W.O.T. and my lifters sometimes tick....
i have all the gaskets.i already have the ls6 oil pump so i wasnt gonna bother doing one. i really dont wanna mess with the heads key cause i will prob. be doing some 243 or some ported prc's in the future
Check that pushrod length....more often than not with that aggressive intake lobe you'll end up needing a 7.425" pushrod to get the preload where it needs to be!

pipe for breaker bar to loosen crank pulley bolt
small 3 arm pulley puller from Autozone
