I started assembly last night. I received the exhaust valve rotators yesterday.

I cleaned the head thoroughly, used hot soapy water and compressed air to blow it dry. I have everything to put it together now. Umbrella seal for the exhaust valves and press on style for the intakes. I'm using new springs, with the stock retainers on the intakes and the NOS rotators on the exhaust.
