Head off... now what all should I replace at 200k miles? 700

So we did in fact find that the chocolate milk in the engine was a cracked head gasket. Pistons look good and everything in the head seems in tact. Taking the head to a machine shop tomorrow to make sure it isn't damaged.

Since I'm in there, I assume I ought to replace at least the timing belt and clean the fuel injectors (too cheap to buy new ones... $75/injector), and what all else? I'd like to get some more time out of this car... love to see another 100k miles. It is a 1988 740 turbo wagon with 190k miles. Is this realistic for this car?

Anything you can recommend, please do.

Thanks for your help,

joshua
