After 328 k miles ,head gasket '95 Aero

Well I guess it had to happen sometime.'95 Aero 5 spd, just turned 328k miles, idling roughly, pull plugs to check. First cylinder plug is brown, not a good brown. That cylinder happens to be near TDC, and I see wet on top of piston!! Other plugs and pistons look normal. Clean and regap plugs, and upon startup- even rougher idle, and white smoke from exhaust. Damn!
Never had an overheat, flushed system every couple of years, used bars leaks. Indie says 8-900$ dollar job, and I want him to do the timing chain as well. The engine has never been opened up. Couple of questions- anything else I should look to replace? The smoke cleared, but the rough idle remains. Am I risking further damage by continuing to drive? Shop can't do repair until next week. thanks- Tom S
