How many cam plugs do I need for a complete valve cover gasket job?
#2
One head or two?
You only need valve cover gaskets (2) to do a valve cover gasket job. But if you are replacing other gaskets/seals, the heads take:
2 cam caps (1 per head)
4 cam seals (2 per head)
2 cam tensioner gasket SETs (1 per head)
Cam tensioner gasket sets include the metal gasket and the 1/2 moon seal.

2 perimeter Neoprene valve cover gaskets == in your "cam tensioner gasket SET"
2 center Neoprene valve cover gaskets == in your "cam tensioner gasket SET"

It looks like you just need one of those.
That kit looks like it contains everything for 2 heads.
2 Front camshaft seals (Improved 'Viton' seal material) == 2 of your "4 cam seals"?
2 Rear camshaft seals (Improved 'Viton' seal material) == 2 of your "4 cam seals"?
<b>Correct. The "Front" and "Rear" cam seals are the same parts.</b>
2 Rear camshaft end cap seals == "cam caps"?
<b>Correct. Although it is on the rear of one head and the front of the other so the "Rear" designation is a bit misleading.</b>
2 perimeter Neoprene valve cover gaskets == in your "cam tensioner gasket SET"
2 center Neoprene valve cover gaskets == in your "cam tensioner gasket SET"
<b>No, these are the actual valve cover gaskets. I didn't list those out since I thought they were implied in a valve cover gasket change.</b>
2 improved tensioner cam chain gaskets == in your "cam tensioner gasket SET"
<b>Correct.</b>
2 improved camshaft valley seals == "1/2 moon seal"?
<b>Correct.</b>
