If we're talking outside of the case, send out your cam towers to get them cleaned at the machine shop. Make sure they take out the oil lines and clean them too.
Check all the chain sprockets/gears for wear on the side of the teeth. If there's wear you'll need all new sprockets/gears and new chains. It's up to you if you want to update/replace the tensioners.
Cylinders I couldn't tell you much about inspecting them as I ended up just buying new ones for mine.
Inspect the cams for pitting, check the rocker arm bushings for scratches. If there are scratches on the bushings, you'll need to have them rebushed, which means regrinding the rocker arms and the cams.
Check the rocker arm shafts for scratches too. I had tons on mine and ended up just replacing all of them since I was also getting the rocker arms rebushed.
While the engine is apart, you might want to do a CIS refresh. Replace all the vacuum lines, consider having the WUR rebuilt, and be sure to replace all the rubber fuel lines.
