Default cam swap gaskets?

just wondering exactly which gaskets i'll need for my cam swap? obviously water pump and timing cover... just a little confused about opti seals and water pump drive seals. the guy at gm said theres 2 in the water pump drive and i thought i only needed one? i've already bought Felpro intake and valve cover gaskets and would prefer to stay GM for the rest. anyone have the complete list with part numbers so i can't screw this up and forget one?

A Felpro timing cover set will have all you need for the front.

You liked Felpro enough to buy the other gaskets. Why not these? Felpro is normally not junk. Plus the front cover set is cheap. You'll pay twice as much or more for the GM parts.

GM numbers are listed on my website.

1995-1997 front cover opti seal 12552428
1993-1997 front cover crank seal 10128316
1993-1997 front cover water pump seal 10217886
1993-1997 front cover gasket 10128293
1993-1997 water pump gasket (2) 10128343
1993-1997 water pump drive shaft o-ring (2) 12553792
1995-1997 optispark o-ring (2) 10474278

All those together at wholesale prices are $31.36.

felpro intake AND valve covers gaskets cost me $60 and GM wanted $120 for the valve cover gaskets and $70 for the intake gaskets. plus both are easy enough to fix IF they do leak. the others are cheap enough its worth it for me to have the peace of mind. never had prolems with GM, however i have with felpro. only $20 or so difference i think anyways
Thanks for posting those part numbers by the way
