My timing covers, crank seal, and upper oil pan are leaking enough oil that they all need to be replaced. 137K miles on the car and prior to the year I've owned it I don't have much maintenance history. I've replaced the "mess under the intake" with all OEM hoses, clamps, and gaskets as well as the oil filter housing gasket/o-ring and valve cover gasket + bolts/rubber washers. So that side of the top side and the intake side of the engine are leak free.
I'm having a shop do the work. I've cross checked their parts list with realoem.com and everything is included to do the upper/lower pans and timing case.
While it's all apart should I have anything else replaced? Chain + guides necessary? (The thermostat, housing, and coolant hoses coming off the radiator will be replaced).
