Honestly, with the engine on a stand, I would just take the whole thing apart.
It will never be anywhere as easy to do as it is when the motor is on a stand.
I would do new springs/retainers (BC sells a kit for $200 on FRSport for springs and retainers....good enough).
Cams if you want to.
Valve stem seals wouldn't be a bad idea...costs maybe $50 for all of them.
maybe a new valve colver gasket depending on the condition of the current one.
You REALLY REALLY should find someone with the "Snap-On Valve Spring Compressor Tool".....it bolts to the head and allows you to use one hand to compress each valve spring while working the keepers with the others.
Also you are gonna want a small magnetic wand for the times when the keepers fall into the head or get stuck "halfway on" but then don't want to wiggle down into position.
Just keep asking us questions as you go.
I would go with the 1.1 mm Apex'i HG.
Stock bore is 86 mm, their HG come a little over....so you want 87 mm x 1.1 mm thick, unless you plan on decking the block....to keep stock-ish compression
