The camgears are kind of an option.

Now for a headgasket, I saw buddy club but im not really sure. Or OEM :thumb:

Personally I would use a OEM headgasket or if you want a "better" one a Cometic.

I have used both on my old LS motor and never had issues with either.

On the timing belt kit, again i tend to stick with OEM stuff. I have however used the gates timing belt with great success when i was having issue with a motor loving to jump timing ... guess a OEM belt could have fixed it too considering the belt was pretty worn but my local autozone had the gates in stock soooo.

This is all if your close to stock, headers, intake, exhaust the simple works ... not sure if your boosted or anything though.

I would personally do OEM than.

Of course adding cams your going to very much want some adjustable cam gears for tuning.

But i don't see a reason why OEM timing belt, water pump and tensioner pulley would not work as expected along side them!
