Hardware Replacement at Overhaul

I'm doing my own overhaul on an IO-320-C1A. It's my first airplane engine overhaul. Not my first engine overhaul. I'm trying to figure out what hardware has to be replaced. I know that I have to replace the rod bolts and the crankshaft gear bolt. What else? I'm getting a couple of different answers, so I thought that I'd ask VAF.
 
Thanks Gil. I don't know how I missed that SB. Makes me wonder how many more I've missed? :-/

Another question... Is it worth buying the gasket kit? My engine is not really listed in the gasket kit from Aircraft Specialties, but I'm pretty sure the only real difference is that I have the Romec Lear fuel pump instead of the AC type diaphragm pump.
