Hi guys.

Can any of you inform me what seals have to be replaced when you are replacing your timing belt? My car has 196000 miles. I want to change all the seals near to that part of my car.

Thanks,

whats on ur way are, the 2 cam seals on top, i think 5sfe might be just 1 cam seal from the top.
valve cover gasket,
crank seal,
oil pump seal, make sure the oil pump is good, inspect it.
water pump/water pump gasket, inspect the water pump make sure its not leaking, also push it in and out, from the pulley, see how the bearing feels.
replace the idlers/tensioners, if they make noise or arent smooth replace them, if they look new they should be fine. i would replace them so u dont have to worry about it again, it just makes noise usually, they rarely go bad.
if u have any other questions let me know.

there is only 1 cam seal. its a slave cam under the valve cover

My mechanic told me that there are three seals that he will change. I don't know how they are called though, but the water pump and the idle puller and tensioner will be changed. He will order the whole timing belt kit. I will ask him about the oil pump and seal as well. Any other suggestion?

Thanks,

Spark plug tube seals and check if there's no leaks on the tubes themselves.

at very least Always replace the water pump and the seal/o-ring that goes with it, the Idler and tensioner pulley and spring as well. While you're in there yes the Cam seal and Crank seal. If the oil pump is leaking then you shouldn't just replace the seals but replace the oil pump too.
the stuff like the valve cover and spark plug tube could stand to be changed to, but they are not something you are going to have apart to get to the timing belt anyway and you could just as easily do those later without taking the timing belt side of the motor apart.

btw you can get the Aisin kit with the belt, pulleys, water pump and it's seals on rockauto for $90
