Comp Cams or Mopar Perf Timing Chain??

Went with the Comp Cam. My motor is only slightly modified, not anywhere near a full race cam or anything.

I will be attempting my first timing chain change ever. I assembled a motor in shop class a gazillion years ago, and getting the chain on is not my primary worry. I am concerned with sealing the cover. Any tips? I believe I should be able to slowly pry the cover off, but any advice there would be appreciated too, like where to pry from or on the cover.

I have the Ultra Gray Permatex as suggested by a friend/mechanic.

Thanks!
