Any other stuff beside cam seals and silicone?

I think I will reuse the valve cover gasket and grommets. They have only 20K.

3- ZIP tie belt to pulleys

4 - Apply cam tensioner tool - its a rod you screw in to release the pulley on the belt

5 - change out one can at a time - hanging it on the other wheel to keep it up and the belt on

6 - make sure to put the cam pos trigger back on in the right direction

7 - trq caps to 17 ft lbs

8 - use lock tight on the pulley bolts - 65 ft lbs

9 - relase the tool

10 - spin engine and verify timing is still on

Takes me about 3 hours - good luck
