NO it is not necessary to remove the cam to replace the gasket. Here is what you need 1 one head gasket victor or felpro 2 lots of time cleaning parts 3 should have head rebuilt and checked for flatness 4 valve cover gasket 5 intake gasket 6 upper intake gasket 7 cam seal 8 new stat and gasket Optional stuff A couple of pizzers a six pack of coke and about 6 hours of labor good luck tom
