Well, if it was running fine before, I would say nothing. Just clean the gasket surface and put them back on. If you want to get into some work, replacing the valve seals would be good to do while you're in there.

Ya, im not looking for more work at this point. I had an oil leak just big enough to annoy me, so im changing the gaskets. Thanks for the suggestion.
