What should a valve job include? (m103)

Hi Guys,

I've been doing a bunch of searching on the forum and am trying to find out what a valve job generally includes (I'm going to have it done, not DIY). People on the forum have quoted that something like this usually goes for $1500 - $2000, but I'm not sure what parts are included in this quote.

For example, I know that at minimum, there will be machine shop fees, valve guides, seals, gaskets for the head, front timing cover, valve cover, etc. However, does a valve job usually include a new timing chain, guides, new serpentine belt, etc? What other things might I expect to be changed?

Thanks for any input and have a great week!

p.s Forgot to mention that the car has over 200k miles on it!
