That looks very clean! The cooling passages especially. Any cracks at the center head bolt holes? (they don't matter so much, and are common)

Are you going to pull the valves out? As clean as it is, it may not be necessary, but if any are sticky now's the time!

No cracks anywhere and I had a few valves sticking and they are not any more it a few turns and working with it but all the valves are cycling just like new the passages on the heads are a little more crusty so Iam going to have them hot clean and I should be good
