Tom,
Brake fluid takes on moisture over time and will eventually cause brake components to rust. Empty the reservour and replace with new fluid, then bleed all 4 lines. Refill as needed and if you're using the pedal, put a wooden block behind it to limit travel. This preserves the internal MC seals by not subjecting them to rough areas they don't normally travel over.
The fuel filter is large capacity and should last for 100k miles easily unless you routinely use horrible quality gasoline!
There is lots of info on this board about timing chains and what happens when they go bad. I don't have any personal experience but you might want to remove the valve cover to have a peek at them. You can also check the guides and cogs and get a general indication of any sludging.
