Make sure to measure the free length of the spring in the tensioner.

I dunno what the cam adjuster seal is, don't know that it relates to the Corolla. Since you'll have the valve cover off, might as well check and adjust the valves too. That's a fun job for the first time on a shim over bucket valvetrain! Also, don't forget to add RTV to the areas it lists in the repair manual when you put the valve cover back on. If you don't, you'll get a fountain.
