Hi guys, cambelt change due soon, :| besides the belt (and tensioners if needed [-o< ) what else should i consider replacing while the job is underway. Obviously i'd like to try and keep the costs down, but prepared for the expense of the critical parts. Any advice gratefully recieved :)

Thanks Izzy

Paul of LPG imports posted that he changes the cam seals on a V6 at the same time, as they sometimes go after a cambelt change. No idea if this is an age or mileage thing.

No idea what the Japanese do, if they change both or not.
