You have 2 options: Leave head in and just replace chains, etc or take head off and change gaskets as well....at 150K, I would take off the head....makes everything real easy and you know that you won't be coming this route in a long time....otherwise your gasket may go in another few weeks and all has to come off again! Also, timing cover is difficult to reinstate with head on which may also damage the gasket (tight tolerance!).
Anyway, for parts you need: head gasket set, 82 degree saab thermostat, turbo steel gasket, timing chain, tensioner and sprockets, balance chain, tensioner and sprockets, crankshaft oil seal, oil pump O ring, alternator regulator, new exhaust manifold nuts, oil, coolant and a lot of clear thinking! Check for sprocket wear when opened up and then buy if necessary.
