Re: what gaskets do i need for cam swap? The pulley does not come with a balancer bolt...you'll need one. I suppose theoretically you don't need new gaskets but I'd buy them anyway. If your luck's like mine, you'll screw one up taking it off and you wont have replacements. Cheap insurance to replace them or have them handy. I'd buy the cam install kit from Thunder, too. It's pretty cheap as it goes. Don't they include it in the cam package you bought? You can reuse the valve cover gaskets but I'd get:
Water pump X 2
Front cover gasket and front crank seal
Water pump X 2
