AZ heat got to the gaskets. So when I rotate the engine out to make sure it's just the rocker gaskets and replace them "again". Is there anything else I should do other than plugs and wires while it's out? My bike is a 07 xb12r with around 40k miles. I replaced the gaskets around 2009 last time.
 
Replace intake gaskets too.

Check valves and probably pour some B-12 in the valves chambers and soak them for 10 days or so and then chip the shells from them. But keep B-12 away from any rubber and gaskets, it will eat them.



Here are my valves after 16000 miles

This gut used blue RTV silicone in addition to new gaskets. I do not know it works better
