If your flywheel is original, just plan to do it. Of course, RMS too. At 105k I’d probably opt for the Pelican, or even Porsche IMS. Technically, I don’t think your engine would “qualify” for the “solution”. Tensioners for sure, you are right there anyway, possibly pads. Might be worthwhile. Coolant bottle maybe? How is your trans? Any second gear issues? If so, might want to think about that too. Might not be fun, but you will learn a lot and it will be rewarding once you get it all dialed.
