you can also buy any readily available ls/vtec kit that will supply you with everything you need : head gasket, oil line, dowels, etc.

Get the golden eagle kit. It includes the head gasket, the dowel pins, all hardware, oil feed line, pancake for the oil feed/oil filter, and even the tap for blocking off the oil feed in the head.

If you've already got the oil lines, NPT plug, etc. you can also buy the dowel pins and modified headgasket separately. The tapered dowels makes the procedure a whole lot easier too.
