Welcome to AF.
Thiers not much more to change other then gaskets.
Since its a low mileage car I wouldnt think the head gaskets would be bad, but you never know these days how people treat thier automobiles. Could have them do a compression test to see if the H gaskets are ok.
Other then the push rods and lifters, that would be all.
Lifters do get a bit ticky after the 80k mile mark due to varnish and or clogged push rods ;)
Hope that helps!
