what did you use to clean it?

a drill and a very fine wire brush tip on it, made sure to stay away from the edges of the cylinder, then followed it up with a degreaser/carb cleaner

Just make sure you don't clean the cam side of the head with any solvents. The cam seals are pretty fragile. Brake clean will kill them for sure; I'm not sure on carb cleaner.

EDIT: and what's the deal with all the oil in cylinder 4?

the head surface i just used one of those soft blue paper towels to wipe it down, didnt even use the carb cleaner on it, also the gasket is on in the first pic because i had just taken it off
