Kev,
For overheating would check that the temp sender in the head and the gauge are reading correctly. There are different senders.
For reducing oil consumption fit the later 'top hat' type seals which go over the top of the valve guides to both inlet and exhausts. These are much more effective than the o-ring seals.
For timing rattle a new chain will help. Also there may be rubber rings fitted to the large pulley, these should be replaced as they will harden with age.
Unless you're planning on doing more than 5,000 miles a year would suggest leaving head alone and use Castrol Valvemaster.

A new simplex chain on the original pulleys should work fine.
The IWIS single row chain is generally reckoned to be one the best quality chains currently available, available from Keith Calver: http://www.calverst....-super-quality/
