When you say lifter cover gasket, I think that's the tappet cover. I did mine while it was out.
I would replace the whole cover and not just the gasket.
I have read many people that just changed the gasket, and the old cover gets bent a little and then won't seal.
You don't need a billet one, a new stock one works just fine.

I also did the cam sensor while I was in there.
