you probably should grab a new timing cover gasket, timing cover seal, water pump gaskets. It's like 40 bucks from TSP and it's a good idea to do it while your in there. A new GM harmonic balancer bolt can be picked up for like $4, you're not supposed to re-use those. Or if you're feeling baller you can go with the ARP balancer bolt.
