Head Gasket Failure

What else other than the gasket should the dealer be changing/fixing at the same time the head is off? Timing belt? Cam followers? Engine has done 33700 miles.

Cant help noticing the classic car mags calling the Elise and "affordable classic". Still its better having them around. You can drive past and feel good about having one thats been driven properly.
