That's corrosion, you can try the MEK on a rag but unless you get the block decked it's tough to remove. Unless it's proud of the liner top I'd leave it because that's your fire ring seal and the ring will deform to offset high/low spots as long as they're not deep. The Felpro head gaskets will seal and isolate the coolant ports.
Depending if the cam actually has 18Xk miles it's always a good thing to replace it. Go aftermarket and not Rover. You'll need new lifters because of the lifter face and it's also a good time to replace the pushrods too.
If you do not remove the chain the crank is timed to the cam. If you remove the cam it's gear is indexed and you'll need to time it to the crank.

Well the truck is all back together and no extra bolts/parts. Still need to get the y-pipe installed. But had to fire it up anyway, wow is she loud. Have a few more thing to do but I think I will be good.
This has been a fun project and I think for the first rebuild of an engine that I have ever done it went great. I'm in love with my new garage.

Find a 4.6 crank and rods. Learn about porting and polishing because any motor likes more air in and out and these heads can take larger valves. Pistons, rods, cam, balancing all produce a better engine than factory. Response is what your after and being OCD is the right quality for achieving better performance. It's not always about displacement and horsepower, it's response, and it doesn't require a huge budget. Mostly your time and attention to detail.
