Yeh there was signs of deposits on the cap too, but it wasn't too bad. I'll file it smooth and replace it next time since moneys a little tight right now. Cheap head gasket swap!
....but on that note...head is off. Enough for today. Tomorrow I will clean it up a little better and ensure the head is flat. Couldn't tell from the old gasket anything hard evidence of the leak.
As you can tell, head can be successfully pulled without touching any accessories, and you don't even need to remove the cam sprocket either, just remove the guide pin and push it back a little. No need to realign anything at all!
