I always use the evergreen gasket kits from mizumo auto parts on ebay. For like 60 bucks you get a more complete gasket kit than anyone else. The seals are always name brand seals also. Most kits will come with an oil pan gasket. IF it does than take the gasket and throw it in the trash and buy a tube of permatex grey rtv. As for the oil pump case. I would check and see what balance shaft stubby way used. If it is the cheap non oem part than the oil pump rear cover will likely be damaged even with the low miles. If it has the oem style stubby and there is no wear inside the pump than i would have no problem with using it. Just make sure that you take it apart and inspect it.

I agree with Bryan. The Ebay evergreen kit has treated me very well. I've bought 2 kits for under $40/each that were 100% complete and then some and they've held up well. I wouldn't suggest using their headgasket, but we are trying it on the 2nd kit we just bought. If I remember I'll keep this updated with how the headgasket holds up.

From what i've experienced the the head gaskets are actually real good. They have a wider fire ring around the cylinders and have a nice sticky coating that seals the head nicely. I've installed alot of them and have had great luck so you should be good as long as you don't stretch the head bolts. These things actually seal so well that you will literally have to pry the head off the block if you pull it back apart.
