Default started head gaskets some pics

I finally got around to my head gasket job. I've got her all torn down and cleaned up. so I'm waiting for my guy to help me reinstall the heads, not really a thing I want to have one of those "learning experiences" on. here are some pics of everything all cleaned up. the valve covers are gold and the other parts I painted a cast iron color. also while I have it torn down I'm replaceing the tappets.

I'm not sure what they are for, but they are made for a different vehicle. I wish I had the time to clean and paint mine like that, it looks good.

Why gold for the valve covers? That is unique! though hopefully the paint job lasts. I went with a flat black on my 03 DII cuz thats what the old Disco's have..
