97 900 Head Gasket replacement

Recently I got a 'Coolant Low' light on my 900. Took it to the dealer who said that there was no leak and topped the coolant liquid. After a few more days, I took it back with the same issue. This time after keeping the car for a day, the dealer said that there is a internal leak and the head gasket needs to be replaced, with possible head replacement. Rough estimate of the cost is $1400. Is this normal ? My car has 60K miles in it and is very well maintained.
since the head gasket is being replaced, is it a good idea to replace the timing chain and some other internal stuff, so as to avoid expensive labor later. I would l;ike to know what else should I replace/check during this expensive work. Thanks in advance.
