[Biturbos4] Time for timing belt... what else?

[Rhett Ennis]

I replaced the Tbelt this summer at 85k and I also had to do the cam
chain tensioner gaskets.  If they need replacement on your car, I'd do
them now too.  They're a PITA, I'd get it done at the same time.

So what's the net.wisdom on this stuff? Most of it appears to be
top-end stuff around the cams; I know that leaks are not uncommon but
it also seems like most of the cam-related stuff would be accessible
from the top without needing to disassemble the front again. Is that
true?

The crank seal, though, I could see being a good candidate...
