This is a set of Comp Cams aluminum 1.7 ratio roller rockers.
In the top box is a set of ARP cylinder head bolts specifically designed for my Edelbrock Performer RPM heads. On the right is a rear main oil seal from Fel-Pro. On the left is a cam bolt set and locking tab. These bolts secure the timing gear to the camshaft. I don't really get why these bolts weren't supplied with my cam. I had to buy them separate. The package on the bottom middle is the oil filter adapter.
These are the head gaskets I will be using from Fel-Pro.
Some of the last items were just some more tools. A valve spring compressor tool - which I will be using to swap out the valve springs on my head (at the #1 cylinder) and replacing them with light weight checking springs (pictured in middle). These light weight springs are used when taking some of the pre-assembly measurements (cam degreeing, piston to valve clearances, push rod length) before final assembly. They are needed because I am using hydraulic lifters in my engine. Hydraulic lifters, under normal engine running conditions, have a plunger inside them that is pressurized with motor oil. Without the engine running when I am doing these checks the plunger will just collapse under the pressure of the normal springs. That is why the light weight springs are swapped in place- to allow me to turn the engine over by hand without the lifter plungers collapsing, providing me with accurate results. I will go more into detail about this later.
Also below is a tapered piston ring compressor tool, crankshaft turning socket and a pair of connecting rod bolt protectors.
The bottom picture is a degree wheel, used when degreeing the camshaft.
