Search this forum for Ryco and you get plenty of posts. Having said that if you are getting gaskets from Mat you might as well get a filter and fuel filter from there as well.

You should not need gaskets for valve covers…..just care. Oil filter is Ryco Z608.
Or as said…….order from Ural Oz.

I've mentioned this before here, but it's good to support the distributor. They usually have what you need, on hand and ready to send. A Ryco Z608 is $32.00 at Autobarn. Ural sell them for $33.00. Air filters are the same, $33.00 and the last time I priced one from a local it was roughly the same. Postage is usually very reasonable and will get to you within a few days. Supporting them, means they'll be there when you really need them.
As Lee said, you should be able to re-use the gaskets at least twice. The same with the dowty washers on the rocker cover bolts. When the gaskets get hard and un-serviceable, buy the re-usable rubber gaskets from Ural. They're good for quite a few removals. Three for me so far...
Make sure you go over every nut and bolt. Ivan is renowned for missing a few checks. I lost a couple of minor bolts early on, but since I gave it a good going over, I've lost nothing.
There's a good grease gun fitting set at Supercheap that has a needle point adapter that gets into all three grease nipples, unless you have the CV joints on your sidecar drive.
Squirt a little lanox into the lugs on the donut... this was Mat's recommendation when I last asked him if there was anything else I need look at.

Are you doing the engine oil at the recommended 5000km interval or sooner? I do my 2014 every 2500k - cheap insurance I reckon. Last changed again on the weekend and absolutely nothing in the oil or on the magnet. Touch wood! I do the final drive and gearbox at 5000km.
