Draw the head cover on a piece of cardboard, and put each bolt in a hole in your picture. Make sure all washers and seals are on each bolt. Some bolts are oil sealing. This way you will know which bolts go back where when you go to put it back together. There are a couple special tools you will need to remove the clutch. I ended up making my own.

The cam actually looks and feels good. No serious gouging or scratches.

I pulled the cylinder.piston had only a small amount of greasy carbon build up that I was able to wipe away with a rag. The cylinder has no visible honing marks. It however doesn't have any scrapes are scatches.
