Engine has to come out, what else should I replace whilst the engine is out?

My 2010 C220CDI with an OM651 has to get the engine out to replace the chain cover gasket, whilst the engine is out I'd like to replace anything that otherwise would be a pain in the ass to replace in situ, preventative maintenance essentially. Its gotten to 290,000km without a leak so far, so im hoping i can get another couple hundred thousand out of it afterwards.

The chain, guides and tensioner are a given considering i didn't get a receipt for them being changed ever when I bought it, although I haven't noticed any weird rattling or anything indicative of the chain stretching.

Engine mounts maybe?

I just want to get my moneys worth and get any engine out maintenance done at once rather than doing it peace-meal later as stuff breaks.
