I will be going today to Toyota Dealerships to buy timing belt for my Camry. Are there any other parts that should come with the timing belt replacement. Little parts like timing belt tensioner etc. what else I should buy thank you.

Dario,
since the belt is off, might as well get and replace the water pump, oil seals and tensioner springs.

could you also shoot a few digital pics of the install and also update us in the procedure.

thanks

Check the tensioner and idler pullies. They should spin smoothly, if not replace them.

Replace the tensioner spring. Its a few bucks.

Check all the seals (oil pump, front main, cam seal(s)).

Replace the 2 accessory belts.

Its a good idea to replace the water pump to, if it hasn't been done. You can get one from a autoparts store for $40 - $50 or pay $100+ at a Toyota dealership.
