Well, I got my new timing chain set, and I thought I was going to install the new cam/timing chain/oil pump/heads/pushrods/lifters,etc, but as I was starting to tear down the engine I realized that I never ordered a new cam retaining plate. The retaining plate has a gasket on the back of it and if it goes bad, you lose oil pressure. I found out you can't just pick up a new gasket at the dealership, so I'll be waiting until that arrives to carry on. I'd rather not have to tear down the engine over not installing a new $18 part.
Anyways, I finished cleaning up and re-assembling the engine bay. And I degreased and painted the valve covers, valley cover and re-painted the timing chain cover as well since I chipped the edges taking it off.
Here's what the valve covers looked like when I got them:
and here it is with a fresh coat of paint:
