2 or 4 Camshaft seals?
Planning to do timing belt, pulleys, tensioner, water pump, gasket, and crankshaft seal. I guess I should do the camshaft seals as well but not sure how many to order. Also, any other things I should order? Timing belt seal/gasket?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick responses. In my original post...The last sentence...I meant to ask if I should get a new timing belt cover gasket?

Not needed if you're not leaking oil. I had a minor leak and the gasket was still good. Although I did have a replacement, so I switched it out.

Good time to drain the radiator, and get new coolant in the entire system. You will already be draining most of the engine block.

+1 on that. The engine block drain ***** are very easy to locate, as opposed to other cars.
