You can't go wrong with the one I gave the link to, which is probably why I gave that link!

You definitely want to put new lifters in if you replace the cam.Makes sense to replace them anyway since they have to come out to change the cam,plus they are cheap,you can get a cam with the lifters at a good price.

^ I've seen it done and it does work but keep looking it shouldnt be that hard to find, worste case senario just buy a new TC cover and it will come with a gasket. I use both, light layer of liquid over the gasket (keeps it in place good to).

not a big deal, easy to set the cam with new gears. cam sprocket will only go in one way. crank sprocket will only go in one way.
