Preparing for OPG/CS prior to a blower install... anyone ever found timing chain wear on the guides or chains on their own setup?

2017 gen2 with 19k miles. cars a 6MT, trying to not over think it and leave well enough alone. tempted to order all new guides/chains and tensioners incase there is any wear found. But im finding it easy to get sucked into throwing parts at it and they very likely arent needed.

Any gaskets or other misc items worth replacing while its apart? or parts you wished you ordered ahead of time while in there?
car is super quite at hot idle, no abnormal noise or issues noted in cam timing on logs either. I dont beat on the car but its been to 78-7900rpm a few times, normally shifted at 72-7500 rpm while NA. no track or drag strip passes, just fun street car and highway pulls.

There's not really much else to consider while you have the front off for OPG's and CS but the timing components. Your car likely is in tip-top shape with that kind of mileage and use. Timing kits (M-6004-A5015) should be available in mid Nov if you find excessive wear on anything.

If you are looking to upgrade some parts Boss tensioners. Gt350 primary chains. secondary tensioner flip bracket. and if you want secondary chains. Opg/cs. Everything will still be like new
