O-rings at the crossover tube, FelPro ES70425.  You may not need to change
your wires, unless the old ones have been sitting in oil.  Mine are OEM at
155K miles, still strong.  I would suggest pulling the cam drive pulleys off
and replacing the oil seals, NAPA# 15810, or National 1213N, $5 ea.  They
will leak someday, PITA to change them if the front end isn't apart (it will
need to be).  Also easy at the same time to change the rear cam seal, behind
the sensor.   But that one can be changed any time; I just did mine in less
than an hour.  Lower radiator hose is easy to change; better to do it before
it softens and chokes the water.  While your car is low in miles, its got 8
years on it, heat soaked seals, hoses etc.  A little maintenance goes a long
way.......
