    Engine Gasket 'Kit' question

    I have not been able to find a definitive answer on what all is actually included in the gasket kits that can be purchased through Pelican, BAV, etc.


    I am doing a e->i conversion (and adding on the I oil cooler) for my Chump Car project. I am obviously getting a new head gasket, and planned to buy the 'head gasket set' (~75-79 bucks on Pelican). And since I'm already doing some engine work, was planning on getting the 'Engine Gasket Set for Engine Block' as well - And hopefully eliminating all my leaks.



    My question is - are there any seals/plugs/gaskets that are NOT included in these 2 kits that would be a good idea to purchase separately? (I figured this would be easier to answer that 'what IS in the kit')


    Specific items I want clarification on:
    -Cyl head cam plugs (those 4 rubber block things)
    -Exhaust manifold gaskets
    -Oil cooler line O-rings/seals
    -Oil plug seal washer


    I'm placing an order this week and want to make sure I get ALL the parts required in one shot.

    TIA

    Maybe on Cam Plugs, yes on exhaust manifold gaskets, maybe on oil cooler line o-rings, probably on drain plug seal.

        I just want to confirm - by 'yes' you mean it IS included in the kit?

          Yup. Just did one on our Lemons car, the kit comes with cam seals, exhaust gaskets (they are shieldless, however). I did not see oil cooler stuff, but that is because we have an eta and got an eta gasket pack. No drain plug washer included.
