neither, timing chain cover gasket, new crank pulley bolt, etc, etc

go to SDPC2000.com they are a sponsor here, if you look around in the LS section you can find a gasket kit for cam swaps

Good luck

geese...dual valve springs for that little of a cam.

but the list above looks pretty good. a few things ill add to it are:

By saying "rod" i guessing you mean pushrod??, if not you will need those
New retainers
Pick up some extra locks(keepers), you will loose some. trust me. they are only like $1 a piece anyway.

you should be good then. just look over the list above and pick up the various tools and fluids you will need. Also you might want to think about replacing the oil pump and timing chain as well, expecially if your car is higher milage.
