You don't really NEED water pump gaskets, I just installed my cam and used some high temp sealer and it is working great. I would have bought the gaskets except no one (dealer or parts store) in the area had them. You will need the timing cover(front cover) gasket AND seal. The seal presses in the middle of the cover right behind the balancer. You will also need several beers or at least I did... Hope this helps.
