gaskets for cam swap cheaper together?
I am about to do my cam swap and I was thinking are there gasket kits and would it be cheaper to get them in a packaged kit online or from a local auto store. I need-
timing chain cover gasket
front main seal
valve cover gaskets
water pump gasket
crank bolt
timing chain cover gasket
front main seal
valve cover gaskets
water pump gasket
crank bolt

You probably don't need new valve cover seals. I've had mine off many times without changing them, no problem. They are quite resilient and definitely reusable.
Water pump gaskets, you will need 2 of them. They are sold individually.
Also, don't forget to pick up an O-ring (or two) for the oil pump inlet tube if you will be changing it, and/or the timing chain (oil pump has to come off to swap the chain).
