What other parts are required other than the obvious gaskets - bolts etc.? (M42)

As a side note, I was thinking that while the engine was apart I may as well remedy my timing chain rattle.

What parts do I need for this, is it just the chain and tensioner?

Anything else I should consider doing while the engine is apart?

What's an M44 plunger? What about replacement bolts and fixings?
