A lot of elbow grease lol Get a can of carb/brake cleaner, and a wire brush to clean the head up.

You can just spray the head/cam housing silver, but polished looks cooler.
And yeah, that rocker cover is a plastic version.

My old engine with the head/cam housing sprayed silver, and a grey rocker cover:
