Yeah, I saw you did that and was going to do the same. My uncle owns a powder coat shop so I was going to give it to him and have him put it in the oven and cook off as much soot as possible then possibly clean with gas or some other oil cutting agent. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the great write up on the seal replacement.Report back on what you find after you replace them.
Also, I highly suggest cleaning out that rocker arm shaft... it's a gross job but it makes a huge difference in oil flow... plus you're in there and let's be honest, you really want to smell like an oil refinery!
