Elbow grease[:@] Seriously though, The pictures dont show all that much. Your gunna have that kidna of sludge in a 40(ish) year old engine. Take them off, take them apart, clean them, maybe lap the valves in, check valve lash, and do headgaskets... save yourself a headache.

Run her till she dies. Then stick a 347 stroker in her. Sounds kinda nasty huh?

Put new gaskets on the cover, and put it back on. What crud you get off will most likely wind up in the gullies below, and you don't want that. Unless you take the head off and take it to a machine shop, there is no quick fix.
