when i took the valve cover off all the bolts were not tight i was able to remove them by hand , either someone changed them and didnt tighten them or it just happened over time. either way oil leak was pretty decent so im glad im doing it sooner than later .

Distributor Cap
Distributor Rotor
Spark plug wires
Spark plugs
Valve cover gasket
Timing belt
Water pump
Thermostat
Cam Seals
Front main seal
Timing belt idler / tensioner pulley
Springs/Struts
All Fluids Flushed and refilled

That's what I did to my '92 SC300 with 127k also. I'm also looking into the bushings too

i'VE everything on your list.i was told about the front main seal but i'm not sure exactly what that is.i'll start ordering parts this week starting with the ati crank damper since bl dont carry theirs anymore.dont have springs yet but shocks/struts i've dont know what springs to get yet for my new rims.i'll order new supra control arms next month but for now i want to get the basics done on the engine first.i'm tired of watching parts lay around in my garrage

ok this started of as what seals and gaskets should be changed on tune up with 127k+.thanks for everyone that put their input in.so this is what i'm going to have changed.upper intake manifold gasket/cam seals/valve cover gaskets/front main seals/cam shaft seals/crank seals/head gasket.some things could be added or taken away.if i knew exactly what to change i would not be here so i have 4 more days before i order the parts and have to live with my decision.so continue to post your answers for anyone in the future that might need this info.i myself have a meet with some local guys so i'm gonna pick their brains and post anything i find out.
