Just bought a '92 325i, need parts

Last week I bought a '92 325i for $1500. The interior and exterior are decent, except for a few problem spots. The owner told me that the cylinders are filling up with coolant, and that he did not know whether it was the head gasket or a warped head. I took the head off only to find the gasket intact, so off goes the head to a machine shop for inspection. Assuming I get the head straightened out, what parts should I replace upon reassembly? Feel free to make any changes to the list or to recommend any particular brand over another.

head gasket
cam cover gasket
new head bolts
new exhaust studs/nuts
spark plugs
timing chain tensioner
since coolant made its way to the oil, should I replace the main/rod bearings and pan gasket?
Anything else that should be replaced while I'm in there?

The car has 160,000 miles with reletively new waterpump, radiator, hoses, and brake rotors/pads.
