    Replace the valve cover grommets also, or the valve covers will just end up leaking again.

    Welcome!

    I'd brake clean the crap outta that top end if it is still apart. It won't hurt anything...and it'll really clean things up...I doused a towel in it and ran it down each intake/exhaust runner in the head just to try and wipe out the excess junk that would move.

    Other than that...there is plenty of good info here if you get stuck.
