Well, I've got the top end pulled apart and the cylinders ready to ship out
to NRHS. Unfortunately, a head job is not in the budget right now.

The bike never really seemed to burn oil or blow smoke. Should I at least
have the valve seals replaced?

The outer surface of the heads could use a little cleaning and brightening
up of the aluminum. What precautions should I take when cleaning? I don't
want to damage the valve seals with an aluminum spray cleaner. Is Simple
Green a good alternative. Is it okay to rinse heads with water with the
valves in place? Oiling up afterwards.

When looking for the rocker box gaskets and cam cover gaskets in J&P and
V-Twin, I don't see the o-rings for my tappets block bolts. I'm pulling the
cam cover because I think it may be leaking a little. Does anyone have the
OEM number for these. I don't have the H-D part number manual.
