More information is needed if you've done any mods like heads or cam before an accurate decision can be made on the PR length.

no everything is completely stock... i did have the gasket replaced but im pretty sure they used the same size as stock..never asked for anything else...this was 3 years ago..would it be a good idea to change the head gaskets again? and does installing a cam, lifters, pushrods, rockers, springs, guide plates require the heads to be removed? do i need a new timing chain with the cc503 or any other gaskets while i remove the front cover where the chain is ect?? thanks lol im an amateur haha

Installing a cam does not require the heads to be removed. Search here and you will find ton's of writeups, but if you do go the cam route you will need to upgrade your springs and possibly your pushrods as well. Depending on how many miles you have on your current chain and it's condition you can likely reuse it, however since you have it out it's a good idea to update and once again search here as there are ton's of threads with suggestions on choising the right chain for your setup. The front cover will need to come off and it's best you replace all the gaskets while you have it off - WP, Opti, Crank and the timing cover gasket to block. The oil pan will have to be lowered (just the front) by loosening the bolts to get the timing cover out without tearing the front of the oil pan gasket. Keep asking and searching as there is a ton of knowledge to be had on this site.
