Same engine in my 96. I am probably gonna have the valve cover off soon when I do the timing chain. I hope all the synthetic I've done recently has made it look nice

What's wrong with your timing chain?
The OP's picture looks fine. That's how mine looked at about 94,000 miles, minus the heavier varnish along the middle. And I had done 6-9k intervals on dino.
The DOHC heads stay cleaner for some reason. The PCV system only directly ventilates cyls 3 and 4 and on SOHC heads heavy black varnish covers the rocker arms on 1 and 2.
Also the lost styro-foam castings are cool to look at if you've never seen one before.
