Default which gaskets should I replace

gonna put a camshaft, intake manifold in and not sure what gaskets I should replace while I'm in there... should I just buy the engine overhaul kit for $25 at jegs and put in what I can or spend 80 on the ultra seal set from mr gasket or do I even need to do that yet?

I replaced all of the gaskets while I was there excepting the oil pan, which from what I understand the engine has to be pulled to remove the oil pan.

All you need is a good "Cam Install Gasket Set"....any place where U get your cam oughta have em. Since timing chain has to come off for cam install, it is an excellent idea for the money to install a new double roller (at least) timing chain set.....its cheap insurance.......GOOD LUCK :seeya NOTE TO REY: I'm sure I can change my oil pan gasket without jerking the motor.
