1JZ gaskets?

[SuperNova]

I'm going to start my swap soon, just been collecting parts for a while. I was going to get a complete engine gasket set and was wondering which gaskets to replace before I drop it in the car.

I know the front and rear main seals, oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets. But I'm undecided on whether or not to replace the head gasket. Should I just go ahead and do it since I'll have it?

Are there any other ones that should be replaced before the swap?

Just trying to clarify some things before hand.

They sell a complete 1jz engine gasket set for a fair price.

As far as replacing the other gaskets, it all depends on the condition of them, obviously, but I would go ahead and replace them now than later.

meh i didnt like the idea of the full gasket set.. mainly because i spent way less than it to buy all of the gaskets i needed
