Default Gaskets needed for Head Install?

Just wondering which gaskets and seals I will be needing to do this head install. Oreileys is trying to sell me a package, $165?

I thought i just needed head gaskets, intake gasket, and a water pump gasket? They are saying I need head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, upper and lower intake gaskets, o rings, water pump gasket, and some others that I cant exactly recall???

valve cover gaskets?? all i ordered were some good old head gaskets from SDPC and head bolts... for 80$ im going to reuse my water pump gasket since its brand new and my fast 90 comes with gaskets i think

You can get GM MLS gaskets for under 30 for the set. You might want new waterpump gaskets and front cover gaskets and a crank seal if your pulling the cam. Youll also need new head bolts.

really, headgaskets and bolts are all you need. Should be under 60...

Headbolts/head gaskets. Are you pulling the cam? If you are, deffiently relpace the crank seal. All of the other gaskets they want you to buy are re-usable.
