The synthetic oil had nothing to do with the head gasket. Replace the chain if it is worn (stretched - measure tensioner to determine). Make sure to use MB or Saab blue coolant and not pink stuff. Townsend mentions what else to look for. Water pump, alt bushings, thermostat, fan switch. If the front main seal/oil pump is leaking, you may want to do this at the same time, too. Flush the brake fluid for system health. You should not have to break open the system if all you are doing is replacing the pads.
