Are all those parts included on the OEM gasket kit that you can get for about $200ish? I know the oil pump and timing components are not, but how about what above them on the list?

How's the car doing?!
it might be, but at the time when I ordered it courtesy couldn't find the "gasket set", if you can get it that should cover you.

my Z is back in the shop unfortunately, looks like I lifted the head last week probably from overheating. my car has been plagued with overheating issues all summer since I turned up the boost. I switched to a mishimoto radiator and added a 2012+ expansion tank which helped a bit, but doing 2-3 back to back pulls the car would overheat, even in cool temperatures.

I suspect that the turbos are boiling coolant creating air pockets in the cooling system due to how GTM routed the turbo lines: coolant output of passenger is coolant input of driver, so driver side turbo is being cooled with very hot coolant.
