If a higher mileage engine, any idler and tension pulleys, tension spring, water pump if it has never been changed. Check the oil, crank and cam seals for leaking.

One TN member quoted the dealer wanted $500 for parts for a 5SFE. Shop around at auto stores, on-line part dealers, Ebay even has sells these parts. As I recall I did the job for a 5SFE for under $200 in parts. But I shopped around before doing the job.
