My research indicates that the only oil galley gasket kit worth getting is the EPS kit. The revised Nissan and Z1 kits still use crappy hardware that is prone to stripping and backing out over time

While you're in there I would consider upgrading the oil pump gears and replacing the water pump, as has been mentioned. Go ahead and replace the drive belt, too, although that's pretty easy to do and doesn't require removing the front timing cover.

OG's thread is a little sparse and the pictures are on Photobucket and no longer show up. RidFamous also has a DIY thread with the same title - much more info and the photos are still up. I've got my Z torn down pretty good and am working on the wire tuck. It gets less and less intimidating the further along I get
