Default Gaskets for cam change ?

Most cam kits ive seen come with the cover gasket and the two bearings but i need to find what gaskets i will need for the top as i plan to use the existing pushrods , The parts book shows that maybe all i need is the rocker cover gaskets ? am i missing anything can i leave the breathers in and just pull the rocker plate ?
U tube vids all show cutting the pushrods and replacing rods and tubes which is outta the budjet right now . Looking at the 48H cams

Rocker cover uppers and lowers,new o-rings for the pushrod tubes,wouldn't hurt to have the breather gaskets and spongy things handy just in case.I did mine a few months back
by pulling the tank and rocker boxes,the rear rocker assy is a pita to wrestle in and out-you just need to be patient with it...

Up top you'll only need the rocker cover gaskets (upper) and the push rod tube Orings.

I would just get a James or Cometic Cam service kit. It has everything you need gasket wise to do the job. Includes new breathers too.

Recently installed 57's went through top, reused prods, and used cometic kit. The breather gaskets were wrong. All else, good. Bike had 25k miles so decided to replace breathers. Ebay had them for only $7. Also consider Rockouts for only $15.
