Pulled the valve cover. Found these numbers on the head:

Seen with cover on:
3835913
GM 12

Once removing the cover found these:

CON 9 G14

Does this help any?

Wiggling the rocker arms there does not appear to be any lash right now.

Here are some pictures with the cover off:

Any tips for resealing the valve cover? It had a cork gasket with a ton of orange RTV on either side. Should I try to straighten out the parts where the 4 screws go as they are dished some?

Got a new cork gasket.
