Doing front seal what else should be changed

[BJM]

I found my leak, its my front seal. what else should be done while I am in there. I bought a stock replacement timing chain and a water pump. Is there any oil pump related work that should be done?

Also, any gotcha's I should know about in there, its my first time tearing into a Buick like this.

You are also gonna need a new cam thrust button,preferably a roller unit. Its about 15.00 new

The timing chain I got is all steel. Where do I get this updated cam thrust button?

Poston's has the updated cam button.

I'm not sure but I think they are available aftermarket perhaps Melling.

GM also has the roller button, part # 25532588. Good Luck.
