One from salvage yard looks worse more black burned up oil
You can disassemble the shaft and clean it all on a bench grinder with a fine wire wheel or brass wire wheel
Make sure you keep everything in order how it came off the shaft, some parts may be stuck on the crud on the shaft but they will come apart with some help, take good close up pics to aide in reassembly and use clean oil for reassembly lube
If one push rod looks bad buy a set they are cheap any rover vendor or even amazon , while u wait on them I would pull the upper plenum and tear down and clean the other side, along with the throttle body , IACV inside the upper plenum, lower plenum
Also use the correct size screwdriver and remove the oil shields from inside the valve covers and clean them and the inside of the valve covers, the screws can be stubborn, think we needed an hand impact screw driver to break em loose
There's lots of pics in my build thread of all this iirc
Also a good time to clean the pcv noodle and check the valve cover hoses

Chemtool works way better........ just dip, soak and blow out. I'm amazed the engine is still running with the tips of those rockers, you have one sticking valve for sure, tip shows a whole circle where the mark should have a half circle to spin the valve as it's contacted. There are at least four tips highly overheated - dull grey look. That means they're not getting ANY oil. You also are showing in every pedestal including the oil ported heavy carbon and that tells me the shaft is loaded with carbon at each through bolt like a dam. Each rocker is showing carbon around the oil port for the pushrod, every one of em.
The amount of carbon clinging to every surface on the rocker assembly is way beyond healthy, your filters must load up well under the 3k mile marker and with it all free floating and flaking off it's just being churned through every aspect of the motor. I know it's high mileage but I have a 190k on mine without as much as a spec of dust......
