My '85 turned 200K today

I got her at about 130k and she's still doing pretty well. I think I need a new headgasket though. I've got oil coming from the rear somewhere and under the distributor.
Don't know if anyones interested but here's the major work I've done (or had done) since I've owned her:
Steering rack
steering pump
starter
clutch
main seals
harmonic balancer
calipers
rotors
main engine wiring harness replaced (she's an '85)
timing chain tensioner
radiator
fans
exhaust from after downpipe back
headliner
Supposedly, prior to my ownership, the transmission was replaced.
I thought I'd tackle the headgasket myself. The most worrysome part seems to be the turbo and exhaust bolts.
I figure I'll need:
headgasket
intake and exhaust gaskets
distributor o-ring
turbo oil return o-ring and gasket for turbo end
valve cover gasket
Anything I'm missing?
Any special tools I'll need?
Thanks!
