Shouldn't you replace your seals and o-rings and all that, before re-assembly?

there are no seals or o-rings, just a gasket that can be reused if in considerable condition. clean the head with some degreaser and install gasket and put a dab of sealant in the corners around the cam housing to keep a good seal.
