I needed the exhaust manifold studs replaced on my 95 9kCSE and since I was getting a little bit of oil seeping from the head gasket my indy said the best way was to pull the head, replace the gasket and while he was in there, he may as well roll in a new chain as well. All this cost $1,200 so you are being way overcharged for that work.
Second, on my 88 9kT that timing chain rattled for the 7 years and 70,000 miles I had it for and no harm was done. The CSE's have a balance shaft chain so they are a bit different, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Of course if you need the head gasket replacing, rolling in a new chain at the same time should only be an additional $150 or so.
