Default Engine reseal - missing anything?

Trying to collect a list of parts/gaskets/etc. that I need to reseal my engine while it's out of the car. Might do a head rebuild too, but I didn't include those parts.

What I already have/have done:
-Rod bearings
-waterpump and gasket
-oil cooler/housing gasket set
-dipstick seal
-balance shaft flange gaskets
-balance shaft front o-rings
-balance shaft rear seal
-front camshaft seal
-cam o-ring seal
-AOS upper and lower seals
-oil cap seal
-copper exhaust gaskets

What I know I need:
-oil pan gasket (have one with hardly any time on it, but might get another one just in case)
-head gasket (same as the oil pan, have a widefire and might reuse)
-cam tower paper gasket
-rear cam tower gasket
-intake gaskets
-oil pickup seal
-front and rear main
-power steering rebuild kit
-water neck gasket top/bottom
-rear coolant port gasket
-turbo o-rings
-oil return seal

Am I missing anything?

you buy all the seals on one kit. it's cheaper that way and you'll have spares just incase.

But i don't think you get the dipstick and turbo o-rings in the kit.

exhaust manifold gaskets (X4). Yes, I would check seal kit prices against buying individually. I used Paragon and I bought a kit minus HG (as I used a Cometic).

Speaking of the oil return seal. I'm in the process of completing rod bearing job and have the oil return tube seal, but don't really see a groove for it. Both surfaces look to be flat. Any suggestions?

I've got copper exhaust manifold gaskets IIRC, pretty sure I bought them when I got copper or MLS gaskets for the rest of the exhaust. I'll have to do some pricing of the kits. I made a previous order (hence some of the parts I already have) before I really looked into everything I needed. So it might be cheaper for individual since I might already have some. I envision a long night of price comparisons in my future!

I'll have to take a look at mine, I don't quite remember from when I pulled it apart.

Found a good list here in case anyone else wants a reference:

I'll also be making up a spreadsheet with prices for future reference.

I may be able to save you some time. This is my spreadsheet and includes damn near every replaceable part (sans a few that I already have like wire harnesses, etc.), included are part numbers for their respective vendor. I don't know if I have the cheapest alternatives included, I haven't gotten that far yet, but it should make for a good start. In the notes I have options and vendors listed, if a vendor isn't listed for an item it's 99% from Lindsey. If a part seems really random, it means it's broken/non-existent on my car.
