what major engine tuning is required?

i am reaching almost 60,000 miles and i was wondering what major mechanical engine tuning is needed, such as re-adjusting valve timing (does this exist for a 2.5?), etc?

Oh i forgot before you hit 60k you should replace your:
Timing Belt
Drive Belts
and Water Pump

seeing they will be down there anyway changing out the Timing Belt, so you wont pay much in labor for the install, a water pump is like 90 bucks so its worth it. I am in NY so for the above it cost me $900 bucks.
I will be dropping the car off on Thursday for the 60k Service, cant wait to see that bill, fun.

Well its the price we pay for having a nice car. Glad I dont own a Lexus. Can only imagine what they would charge.
